Main Features Explained

Access Assigned to Individual Users

A User CAL is assigned to a named person instead of a single device. Therefore, the same employee can access the server from different compatible systems.

This option is ideal for remote employees and mobile teams. It also helps users who regularly switch between an office computer and a laptop.

Flexible Access from Multiple Devices

One authorized user can connect from several devices. As a result, businesses do not need to license every device used by that person separately.

This setup can simplify access management. In addition, it may reduce costs for organizations with employees who use more than one workstation.

Support for Established Server Environments

This product supports Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2. It allows businesses to maintain compliant server access for existing infrastructure.

However, it does not include the Windows Server operating system. Your server must already be installed, activated, and configured.

Scalable User Options

You can select coverage for 1, 5, 10, 25, or 50 users. This makes the product suitable for small companies, growing departments, and larger organizations.

Moreover, you can choose the quantity that matches your current needs. This helps you avoid purchasing unnecessary access rights.

Why Choose Microsoft Windows Server 2012 User CAL?

Microsoft Windows Server 2012 User CAL is designed for organizations where employees use several devices. For example, one person may work from a desktop computer, laptop, and shared workstation.

The user-based model offers more flexibility than licensing each device separately. It is especially helpful for IT administrators, managers, remote workers, and field employees.

You can explore other Windows Server 2012 CAL options to find the right access model. If several people share one workstation, consider Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Device CAL instead.

Organizations using a newer server platform can review Microsoft Windows Server 2016 User CAL. Alternatively, businesses running a later environment can choose Microsoft Windows Server 2019 User CAL.

Microsoft Windows Server 2012 User CAL vs Alternatives

A User CAL authorizes one person to access the server from several compatible devices. Therefore, it suits employees who work from multiple locations or systems.

In contrast, a Device CAL is assigned to one device. Several people may use that licensed device to access the server. For this reason, Device CALs often suit shared computers, reception desks, warehouses, and shift-based workplaces.

The server version also matters. Windows Server 2016 and 2019 User CALs are intended for newer server generations. However, a Windows Server 2012 User CAL does not grant access to a newer Windows Server version.

System Compatibility

This product is compatible with Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2. Before ordering, confirm the operating system installed on your server.

A CAL provides access rights only. It does not include or install the Windows Server operating system. In addition, it does not replace an RDS CAL when Remote Desktop Services requires separate licensing.

Your server should already be installed and properly configured. You must also have a suitable Windows Server license for the server itself.
