Skype for Business Server Plus 2019 Device CAL

Access comprehensive communication and collaboration services from one device

Skype for Business Server is a communications and collaboration platform that provides instant messaging, audio and video conferencing, and other features to help businesses communicate and collaborate more effectively.

The Plus 2019 Device CAL (Client Access License) is a type of license that allows a device to access Skype for Business Server services, as well as additional services such as Exchange Server, SharePoint Server and Lync Server.
With a Device CAL, each device that connects to the server requires its own CAL, regardless of the number of users using the device to access Skype for Business. This differs from a User CAL, where a single user can access Skype for Business and additional services from any device.

Benefits of the Skype for Business Server Plus 2019 Device CAL for Business

So, the Plus 2019 Device CAL allows businesses to benefit from all the features of Skype for Business Server, plus access to other important communication and collaboration tools. It's a great choice for businesses that want to help their employees communicate and collaborate while saving money.

How many devices will be connected to the server and therefore need a CAL?

To determine how many devices will need a CAL, you must first determine the number of devices that will be connected to the Skype for Business Server.

These devices can be computers, smartphones, or tablets used by employees or other users to access Skype for Business Server services. If you have a Plus 2019 Device CAL, each of these devices requires its own CAL to access the services. It is important to note that the number of users using the device does not matter - each device requires its own CAL. So, for example, if you have 10 devices connected to the server that want to access the services, you will need 10 Plus 2019 Device CALs.

Do all of these devices need access to all of the services offered by Skype for Business Server, as well as additional services like Exchange, SharePoint and Lync?

Yes, if a device has a Plus 2019 Device CAL, it has access to all the services offered by Skype for Business Server, including instant messaging, audio and video conferencing, and other collaboration tools. It also has access to additional services such as Exchange Server (email, calendar and contacts), SharePoint Server (collaboration and document management) and Lync Server (web conferencing and telephony). Note, however, that each device needs its own CAL to access these services. So, for example, if you have 10 devices that want to access all services, you will need 10 Plus 2019 Device CALs.

What features and services are included in the Plus 2019 Device CAL and how are they used?

The Plus 2019 Device CAL includes access to all features and services provided by Skype for Business Server, including instant messaging, audio and video conferencing, and other collaboration tools. It also includes access to additional services such as Exchange Server (email, calendaring and contacts), SharePoint Server (collaboration and document management) and Lync Server (web conferencing and telephony).

Users will use the features and services in different ways depending on their needs. Users might use instant messaging, among other things, to quickly and easily share messages with colleagues, or they might use audio or video conferencing to meet and collaborate with others without having to be in a specific location. The additional services such as Exchange, SharePoint and Lync provide users with more ways to communicate and collaborate with each other by providing features such as email, calendaring, document management and web conferencing.
