Windows Server is Microsoft's solution for workgroup file, print, and communication servers, as well as for Internet content delivery.

This is a Device Client Access License (CAL) for Windows Server Standard. A CAL is needed for every device or user accessing the server for using file services, printing services, remote access service, or terminal services, or any authenticated users accessing Windows as a Web server or an application server. For a significant number of authenticated Internet users, an External Connector license(ECL) is available.

With Windows Server, CALs can be accounted for either per server or per user or device. This CAL is for licensing per Device; Uer CALs are a separate item. Either CAL can be used in per-server mode. A User CAL allows access for one user regardless of device used (i.e. an employee who accesses the server from work and from home), a Device CAL allows access for one computer regardless of the number of users (i.e. a shared workstation).

Note: This license does not require media.
