Buy Microsoft Windows Server 2025 Device CALs — 5-Pack Genuine Perpetual License

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What exactly is a Windows Server CAL?
A: A Client Access License (CAL) is a legal requirement from Microsoft that grants a device or user the right to access Windows Server services — including file shares, printers, and applications. Without CALs, your environment is out of compliance.
Q: Device CAL vs. User CAL — which should I buy?
A: Choose Device CALs when multiple users share the same physical devices (e.g., shift workers, kiosks). Choose User CALs when individual users access the server from multiple devices (e.g., laptop + desktop + phone).
Q: How many users can access the server from each licensed device?
A: Unlimited. A Device CAL covers the device itself, so any number of users can access the server from that licensed machine.
Q: Do I need a CAL for every device on my network?
A: Yes — every device that accesses Windows Server resources (files, printers, applications, authentication) requires a CAL for Microsoft license compliance.
Q: Are these the same as RDS CALs?
A: No. These are base Windows Server CALs for general network access. Remote Desktop Services (RDS) CALs are an additional, separate requirement specifically for Remote Desktop session access.
Q: How do I activate these CALs?
A: Windows Server CALs are compliance-based and do not require software activation. Simply purchase enough CALs to cover your devices and retain the license documentation for audit purposes.
Q: Can I add more CALs later?
A: Yes — purchase additional 5, 10, 20, or 50-device CAL packs at any time as your organization grows.
Q: Are these compatible with Windows Server 2022?
A: These CALs are specifically for Windows Server 2025. For Server 2022 environments, purchase the corresponding Windows Server 2022 CALs.
Q: How do I receive my license documentation?
A: Your genuine Microsoft CAL license documentation is delivered instantly via email after purchase, with instructions for record-keeping and compliance.
