Buy cheap Windows Server CAL

Do you want to buy a cheap Windows Server for your company? Then it is recommended to buy Windows Server CAL. These are licenses that are suitable for authorizing the use of the server. The abbreviation CAL means Client Access License. You will surely do very well with these licenses. If you buy Windows Server 2012 User CAL or Windows Server 2012 Device CAL, it is a good decision from the economic point of view.

Why are licenses for older versions worthwhile?

You may wonder why you should buy licenses for Windows Server from the 2012 production year. After all, these are already several years old. However, the question can be answered very easily. There are no particularly outstanding features in the new releases of servers from Microsoft. The servers work discreetly in the background. Therefore, it hardly matters if they are already a bit older. If you do not yet use AI in your company, you will manage very well with the older versions. The servers are easy to use, do not place high demands on the hardware and are very powerful. You should only think about whether you want to purchase Windows Server 2012 User CAL or Windows Server Device CAL. What the difference is, is described below.

Difference between Windows Server 2012 User CAL and Device CAL

A Windows Server 2012 User CAL is personal. This means that you purchase licenses for specific employees. These should then also be the employees who regularly need access to the server. Therefore, you do not need to purchase Windows Server 2012 User CAL for each employee. Each employee who has such a license can use it from any PC or laptop. Of course, it is also possible to use it with a tablet or a smartphone. However, it only works on one device at a time. This means the employee can only use the server access from a laptop if they have previously logged out of the server from their PC. The Windows Server 2012 Device CAL are device-based. So a very specific device is licensed for access. In this case, however, it does not matter which employee is currently logged on to the PC. Windows Server 2012 Device CAL are always interesting from an economic point of view if there are fewer computers than employees in the company. If there are more computers than employees, Windows Server 2012 User CAL would be the optimal choice.

Buy Windows Server 2012 R2 User CAL?

If the 2012 servers seem a bit too old for you, you can also opt for Windows Server 2012 R2 Device CAL or Windows Server 2012 R2 User CAL. The designation R2 stands for Second Release. This is therefore the second version of Windows Server 2012, which was launched between 2014 and 2016. This is the previous version of the Windows Server 2016 variants. You are welcome to buy the older Windows Server CAL without having to forego any functions. If you only need the servers to manage customer data, articles and suppliers, the older Windows Servers perform very well.
