A SQL Server user client access license (CAL) authorizes one user to access SQL Server from any device when the server is deployed using the Client/Server mode. For example, an employee might access the server from a computer at work and another at home.

This donation provides one user CAL. Device CALs for licensing computers are also available.

Additional Information

License Only

This license does not require media, license keys, or setup codes.
