MICROSOFT SQL SERVER 2019 USER CAL

User CALs for SQL Server 2019 as used software

In order to make use of all services and functions SQL of Microsoft SQL Server 2019, a user needs a corresponding client access license - the SQL Server 2019 User CAL - with which he can access it from any end device. The SQL 2019 Server license itself does not include user rights, so these must be purchased separately in the form of a CAL for Users. The User CAL grants the appropriate permission to a single registered user at a time.

As used software, the SQL Server 2019 User CALs from Wiresoft offer the great advantage that they are already available individually and at a lower price than the comparable offers of the usual license providers. At the same time, they have the same functionalities as the User Client Access Licenses for SQL Server 2019 available under the official Microsoft Volume Licensing Program.

Get all the benefits of MS SQL Server 2019 with a pre-owned User CAL

SQL Server 2019 is the latest version of the Microsoft data platform from Microsoft, which provides a company with all the important database, reporting and analysis functions that a modern, powerful Relational Database Management System (RDMS) must offer, which is used, for example, for enterprise resource planning systems, ERP software as well as CRM systems.

Depending on the server edition, this includes not only the clustering (group assignment) of data, but also the monitoring for a systematic collection as well as the processing of targeted queries. Here, users with a SQL User CAL 2019 can take advantage of Intelligent Query Processing (IQP) for accelerated queries of larger data sets, as well as the Big Data Cluster feature with tools for machine learning models, as well as PolyBase for processing Transact-SQL queries from external data sources.

Other features include:

• Always Encrypted for encrypting data from the client to the DBMS
• Intelligent Query Processing (IQP) for optimizing queries of large data sets
• Intelligent Performance, which provides accelerated execution speed for database operations
• Database Snapshots for documenting potential discrepancies
• Last Query Plan Statistics for up-to-date views of query execution plans
• an enhanced Lightweight Query Profiling Infrastructure, and
• Accelerated Database Recovery for accelerated database recovery after a restart or transaction rollback

User CALs for SQL Server 2019 Standard Edition

With a used software user CAL from Wiresoft, you can take advantage of the functionality of SQL Server 2019 Standard Edition: This is designed for small to medium-sized companies and offers the licensing option per Server/CAL, which requires a corresponding number of access licenses (Client Access Licenses) for users in addition to the server license.

Licensing model for SQL Server 2019 via server licenses and CALs

Licensing per server plus User CALs is based on the usual requirements specified by Microsoft: Each server running a SQL Server instance requires a standard server license. In addition, each dedicated user accessing the licensed SQL Server requires a corresponding access license (User CAL) of the same or a newer server version. Therefore, this licensing model is also referred to as Server/CAL licensing.

Microsoft license management thus differentiates between the licensing of the servers and that of the individual users. The latter are only authorized to use the SQL Server functions through the User CAL. This Client Access License exclusively contains access rights in a client/server environment without the need to install any software. The User Client Access Licenses govern the usage rights for SQL Server 2019, in addition to the access rights to the licensed server, they also contain the associated services.

Note version compatibility for User CALs for SQL Server 2019

Thereby, with a User CAL for SQL Server 2019, access to SQL Server 2017 or an older version is also possible (downgrade). However, the reverse scenario of using a User CAL of an older SQL Server version such as 2017 to access a higher SQL Server version such as 2019 (upgrade) is not possible.

Why is there CAL-based usage for SQL Server 2019 standard edition?

Only for the standard edition of SQL Server 2019, Microsoft also offers CAL-based licensing for users (or endpoints). This allows even those users to use the SQL Server features whose server has a lower performance, as is the case, for example, especially in SMBs, where this is quite sufficient. Licensing with access-based licenses for users is a more economical way for such companies to use SQL Server, since they only have to buy exactly as many user client access licenses as they actually need. The Microsoft licensing model offers two different types of CALs for SQL Server 2019 use:

• SQL Server 2019 User CAL: this equips a dedicated user with access rights
• SQL Server 2019 Device CAL: this gives access rights to a dedicated end device (PC, laptop, tablet, mobile)

What are the special features of licensing with User CALs for SQL Server 2019?

The User Client Access License is a single license that gives specific users access rights to SQL Server 2019. In this case, it is not possible to change the user specified first afterwards, nor to change the type of assignment. These restrictions provide greater security and prevent misuse of the CALs, so that, for example, no unauthorized employees or strangers can access business-critical data of a company.

What are the benefits of the User CAL for SQL Server 2019?

The User License for SQL Server 2019 is not tied to a specific end device, but exclusively to a specific person. Thus, the User CAL for SQL Server 2019 only registers a single user by name. It thus grants this user the right to access the SQL Server, whereby the choice of the end device via which access takes place in each case is free, but this can only ever happen from a single PC or similar at the same time.

Compared to the other client access license version, the device-dependent CAL, the User CAL therefore has the advantage that the use is not locally bound. As long as the end device used by the licensed user has access to the Internet, the user can access the SQL Server not only within the company, e.g. at the workplace, but also outside - e.g. with a laptop, tablet or smartphone - on the train, on a business trip or in the home office.

The User CAL for SQL Server therefore offers flexible and mobile use of SQL Server functions especially to users who frequently work from different locations and regularly connect to the server, because with the User CAL they always use their personal account.

Conclusion

Which type of CALs for SQL Server 2019 offers more benefits in a particular organization may differ on a case-by-case basis. The decision for the right client access licensing must be made before the purchase, because a SQL Server User CAL cannot be changed into a Device CAL or vice versa.

It is not only based on the number of employees, but also on the predominant type of use of the end devices: If the majority of employees regularly use different computers, not only internally but also externally as well as mobile or at different workstations to access SQL Server, equipping them with User CALs offers more advantages.
