Manage your data even easier with SQL Server 2019 CAL

In 2019, Microsoft introduced its new database management system SQL Server 2019 to the market. In addition to a standard version, you also have the option here to access a 2-core version as well as an enterprise version. It should be noted that the last two variants also require higher-quality IT equipment with a lot of RAM. This allows you to manage extensive Big Data sets, produce forecast tables and other reports, and perform extensive analyses. Today, it is hard to imagine both enterprise resource planning and financial management without SQL Server 2019. For this, corresponding licenses for the database module are required. However, you also need additional licenses for the users who will eventually have to work with your database. Therefore, your employees each need their own access license. Consequently, when you buy your SQL Server 2019, you will ultimately also need to buy at least one SQL Server 2019 CAL. You can find these addons for your database here in the store at reasonable prices.

Do you need Microsoft SQL Server 2019 CAL for that?

If you want to buy a Windows Server 2019, you probably need large amounts of data to be processed in your company. SQL Server 2019 is even faster than the previous versions and offers you even more extensive database functions. Here, the focus is not only on the Azure cloud, but also on the Allways-On high-availability solution and the in-memory function. In order for your employees to be able to access your company data at any time, corresponding CAL solutions are required. They are the link between the database module and the user. Consequently, if you buy an SQL Server, you will ultimately also need SQL Server 2019 CAL in this case. This is used to execute and produce the queries, analyses and reports on the corresponding end devices. However, there are still some differences with regard to CAL, which we would like to explain to you briefly below.

SQL Server 2019 User CAL is aimed at the user(s)

SQL Server 2019 User CAL is what you buy when your staff needs to work with your SQL database module continuously. In most cases, this is where an employee or staff member is tasked with performing extensive database entry and analysis at their workstation. It doesn't matter whether the person in question is sitting at your workstation or even in your home office. The SQL database can even be accessed while on the road. In this case, each authorized user requires an access license. By the way, CAL stands for Client Access License. In this case, users can access both the application server and the web server. It is important to know that SQL Server 2019 User CAL only refers to personalized licenses, i.e. to people who have to work with the database.

An alternative if you buy SQL Server 2019 Device CAL

The difference between User CAL and Device CAL refers to the fact that SQL Server 2019 Device CAL only licenses digital endpoints. This means that here you need an access license for a specific PC, notebook, tablet or even printer. The advantage is that in this way several people can work on this end device at different times, without them in turn having to have their own license. For example, in shift work, several employees work on one PC and are assigned to perform extensive data entry tasks. If, for example, four people are assigned to do this, you still only need one Device CAL, which refers to the installed PC. This allows the SQL database to be operated quite efficiently and cost-effectively. Many entrepreneurs therefore opt for this rather more flexible CAL solution. Of course, the decision is still yours. If you don't need any staff and you are a freelancer entering the Big Data records yourself, a User CAL can also be perfectly sufficient. Here in the store you have the possibility to order these two addons for Microsoft Server 2019 CAL at a reasonable price.
