The licensing model of the Microsoft SQL Server Standard 2014

In the Standard Edition the Microsoft SQL Server can be licensed in different ways. On the one hand, it is possible to buy only the server software and pay depending on the amount of processor cores used. In many scenarios, however, the "Server + CAL" licensing variant is considerably less expensive. In addition to the license for the server, you need in this case so-called Client Access licenses. With a Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Standard Device CAL, you can grant access to the server to any number of users. However, this may then only ever be done from a single, permanently defined device. If you want to access SQL Server 2014 from more than one terminal, you need a separate Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Standard Device CAL for each computer. Alternatively, you can also decide to purchase so-called User CAL. This means that exactly one employee can initiate queries and transactions on the database server from any computer within your network.

What exactly are Device CALs for Microsoft SQL Server 2014?

In order to be able to access Microsoft SQL Server 2014 from outside, it is often necessary to purchase so-called Client Access Licenses (CAL). This is what the Microsoft licensing program provides for. A basic distinction is made between two different types of CAL. If you decide to use the Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Standard Device CAL, you have the possibility to access the database server from exactly one computer. It does not matter how many different users access the server from this computer. Alternatively, there are so-called User CAL, which can be used from any number of computers. However, these are permanently linked to a user.

Who should buy Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Standard Device CAL?

Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Standard Device CAL are particularly interesting for customers who already have a Microsoft SQL Server 2014 in use. Device CAL is particularly worthwhile as a licensing model if your employees actually only access the SQL Server from very specific devices. User CAL offer more flexibility in this respect. If you are planning to set up a completely new Microsoft SQL Server, we recommend that you use the more current SQL Server 2019, which Microsoft will continue to provide with updates for a much longer period of time.

What are the advantages of Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Standard Device CAL?

Device CAL can be an economically particularly attractive option to license the use of Microsoft SQL Server 2014. Basically, the licensing variant "Server + CAL" of the SQL Server means low entry costs and the possibility to flexibly expand the scope of use over time. Device CAL are in many cases the cheapest option. For example, if you only access your databases via individual terminals. This can be useful for very specialized applications that involve only a few colleagues. The User CAL, on the other hand, which in many cases is somewhat more expensive, gives you and your employees more flexibility in database access.

Device CAL: Device CALs are particularly suitable for companies where several employees work on one device. With Windows Server 2014 Device CALs, you don't have to purchase per-employee access, just per device. Whether this form of licensing is suitable for you depends on the structure of your company. By choosing the right CALs, you work cost-efficiently and save resources. Device CALs and User CALs can also be combined.
