Microsoft SQL Server 2025 - 1 Device Client Access License (CAL) Device CALs are required for every Device that accesses the database, regardless of the users who are accessing those devices. Microsoft SQL Server is a cutting-edge relational database management system that includes several new Database Engine features, enhancements, and performance improvements. SQL Server gives users the choice of preferred development language, data type, on-premises or cloud implementation — and even operating system options. Add one device to your Microsoft SQL Server-powered database with a single Device CAL, now available to order from Trusted Tech Team, a Microsoft Solutions Partner. Applies to SQL Server Editions: Standard & Enterprise. Microsoft SQL Server Device CALs allow for an innumerable amount of users to access those devices. Device CALs are more cost-effective if you have workers who share devices such as an AM shift and PM shift. If you need to have external users such as a contractor accessing the database, you will need to purchase a Device CAL for each of their machines.
