Licensing
A User CAL permits one user (using any device) to access or use the server software. User CALs are likely to be more cost effective than Device CALs if there are multiple devices per user (for example, a user has a laptop and handheld computer accessing Windows Server). A minimum of 5 CALs is required along with a server license. This license comes with Microsoft's maintenance plan, Software Assurance (SA).
