Description
SQL Server User CAL as a used volume license. Licenses one named person to access SQL Server in the Server + CAL model, regardless of how many devices they access it from.
When the User CAL is the right form
Always where one person works with several devices - a computer in the office, a notebook on the road, a phone in between. If, on the other hand, several people share a device in shift work, the Device CAL is more economical. Both forms may be combined within the same company.
Indirect access counts too
This is where the most common gap arises: anyone who accesses the database through an intermediate application, a reporting tool or a web interface also needs a client access license. This multiplexing rule is regularly invoked in audits. Count the people behind the application, not the technical connections - we go through this with you before the order.

Frequently asked questions about this offer
Why is no price shown here?
Because the price depends on the quantity and on the individual purchase. Tell us the quantity you need and you will receive a written quote with volume tiers and a binding validity period.
Is this license technically identical to a new one?
Yes. It is the same software with the same features and the same updates, for as long as the version is in support. The difference lies solely in how it was acquired, not in the product.
Which documents do I receive?
The license agreement in your company's name, the transfer declaration covering your quantity, the previous owner's deletion confirmation and evidence of the chain of title. These documents are part of the delivery and cost nothing extra.
What happens if the quantity I need is unavailable?
Then we tell you before you start planning. The shortfall can often be sourced at short notice; where that is not realistic, we suggest an alternative or advise against it. We do not make commitments we cannot keep.
Do I need additional client access licenses (CALs)?
For server products, usually yes; for desktop software, no. What applies in this case is shown in the license details above. Tell us the number of users or devices and we will work out the requirement with you.
