A Microsoft Project Server client access license (CAL) gives a user the right to access the services of Project Server or Project Portfolio Server. Any application that accesses the services of Project Server or Project Portfolio Server requires a CAL, including Project Professional, Project Web Access, SharePoint sites with Web Parts that display project information, Microsoft Office Outlook integration with the COM add-in, and third-party applications. Users with a Project Server CAL can view and update project information from Project Server or Project Portfolio Server through the web portal, Project Web Access.

This device CAL authorizes one computer to access the services of Project Server or Project Portfolio Server, regardless of the number of users (for example, a shared workstation).

User CALs are also available. A user CAL authorizes a user to access the services of Project Server or Project Portfolio Server from any device (for example, when an employee accesses the server from a computer at work and another at home).

Note: This license does NOT require media, license keys, or setup codes.

Software Assurance: Under the Software Assurance program, you have the right to install any new release of products covered in the agreement during the term of your coverage.
