MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2019 USER CAL

Buy User CALs for Microsoft Windows Server 2019 as used licenses

For licensing a standard or datacenter edition of Microsoft Windows Server 2019, in addition to core-based server licenses, a client access license is also required for each user: e.g. the Windows Server 2019 User CAL; this gives the respective registered user access rights for this Windows server.

The core licenses for the standard or data center edition of Windows 2019 Server do not contain any further user rights, so that these must be purchased separately as a User CAL, so that a specific user is only personally authorized to access the Windows Server via an end device - which, however, can be selected at will.

A used User CAL for Windows Server 2019 from Wiresoft not only has a lower price compared to other new client access licenses offered in the software trade, they are also available individually instead of in a bundle. However, used CALs have the same functionality as Windows Server 2019 User Client Access Licenses available through the official Microsoft Volume Licensing Program.

Get all the benefits of MS Windows Server 2019 with a User Pre-owned CAL

The standard or datacenter edition of Windows Server 2019 offers many new features, especially for the deployment of cloud-based applications based on Windows 10. For example, Software Defined Networking (SDN) enables not only the central configuration of physical network devices, such as routers and switches, but also that of virtual network devices - e.g. gateways - as well as their dynamic management. To this end, Windows Server 2019 allows the possibility of peering two networks to connect them almost seamlessly. Other features users can benefit from with a used User CAL include:

• Secure encryption of virtual networks with Encrypted Networks and Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) available
• New Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) features reduce complexity and simplify IT infrastructure deploymentV
• Improved integration of Linux with Shielded VMs
• Leverage Kubernetes containers
• Advanced Threat Protection for sensitive data protection and early attack detection
• Storage Spaces Direct for aggregating local server data stores into a virtual cluster
• Storage Replica prevents data loss at the file system level and minimizes downtime with Disaster Preparedness

Important information about used User CALs for Windows Server Standard and Datacenter Edition 2019

Windows Server 2019 CAL Licensing Info

Microsoft's licensing terms offer Windows Server 2019 licensing by cores/processor cores for the Standard and Datacenter editions, although this must be supplemented by user or endpoint licensing; any CALs included in the server license come with administrator rights only, so to use the actual Windows Server services, each dedicated user needs an access license (User CAL); this must also be the identical or higher Windows Server version - more on this below.

Only this personal client access license entitles a user to use the Windows Server features of the 2019 version; it contains pure access rights for the Windows Server 2019 client/server environment, and no other software that still needs to be installed.

What are the benefits of licensing Windows Server 2019 Standard or Datacenter edition with User CALs?

CAL licensing of Windows Server 2019 allows flexible and needs-based rights management of users. The use with used access licenses for users is a more economical way to use Windows Server services, especially for SMBs, because here client access licenses only have to be purchased for as many employees as are actually needed. The Microsoft licensing model offers two types of CALs for Windows Server 2019:

• Windows Server 2019 User CAL: this gives a dedicated user server access rights
• Windows Server 2019 User CAL: this gives server access rights to a dedicated end device (PC, laptop, tablet, phone)

User CALs can also be combined with device CALs.

Note version compatibility of CALs with Windows Server 2019!

A User CAL for Windows Server 2019 grants the user in question access rights not only to a Windows Server in version 2019, but also to older versions such as 2014 (downgrade). This offers an advantage over CALs that are decidedly only designed for a previous version of Windows Server 2019, as they cannot be used to access the Windows Server version 2019 (upgrade). Therefore, when purchasing User CALs for Windows Server 2019, care should be taken to ensure that the server license and client access license are compatible.

What else needs to be considered when licensing Windows Server 2019 with a used User CAL?

As already mentioned, only a specific registered employee receives the personal access rights for Windows Server 2019 with the User CAL, whereby it is important here that the respective Windows-capable end device can be freely selected. Once user registration has been completed, this can no longer be changed. In principle, it is also not possible to change the CAL type from User to Device CAL or vice versa. However, it is possible to combine User CALs with Device CALs for Windows Server 2019.

These provisions from Microsoft in CAL licensing are intended to prevent improper access to Windows Server 2019. In addition, they also provide security for an organization and its data by excluding unauthorized or third-party users from using the services.

How does the User CAL for Windows Server 2019 differ from the Device CAL?

In principle, a used User CAL for Windows Server 2019 does not differ in functionality from a Device-based Client Access License - called Device CAL. Their respective advantages are only evident in the typical way Windows Server is accessed in an organization:

A user access license for Windows Server 2019 is exclusively tied to a specific employee, but in doing so, it offers the free choice of end device to access the Windows Server, no matter where it is located. Compared to the end-device-related access license, the User CAL therefore offers a different scope of use, since the licensed user is unbound with regard to the computer or similar used - always provided that the end device used has access to the Internet. This means that the user can access the Windows Server not only from the stationary PC at the workplace in the company, but also externally: e.g. via a private laptop, tablet or smartphone - during a business trip or even in the home office.

User CALs for Windows Server 2019 therefore offer such employees a more flexible use of Windows Server functions, who frequently change their work environment and use a respective existing end device to connect to the server via it, because with the User CAL they always use their personal account for this purpose.

Conclusion

So, which type of client access license for Windows Server 2019 offers more advantages in use in a company differs from case to case. Here, the number of employees using Windows Server in relation to the predominant type of access via the existing end devices plays a role: as soon as the majority alternately uses mobile end devices or different standalone devices, and thus also different workstations to access Windows Server, the personal user CAL offers more advantages. As mentioned above, the decision for the appropriate type of client access licensing must be made before purchase, because the User CAL for Windows Server 2019 cannot be reclassified to a Device CAL or vice versa. However, it is possible to combine or use User CALs and Device CALs for Windows Server 2019 in parallel.
