Windows Server 2022 - 50 User CAL

Overview

The Windows Server 2022 50 User CAL pack provides the latest Client Access Licenses for 50 named users to access Windows Server 2022 and all previous server versions. As the most current CAL version available, Server 2022 CALs offer maximum forward protection and the broadest downward compatibility of any Windows Server CAL. Purchasing the latest CAL version is a strategic licensing decision. Windows Server 2022 User CALs grant access to Server 2022, 2019, 2016, 2012 R2, and all older versions — covering your entire server estate regardless of which versions you run. Organizations planning to upgrade any servers to 2022 should invest in 2022 CALs now to avoid repurchasing when the upgrade occurs. Each User CAL permits one named individual to access any number of Windows Server 2022 instances from any device. The multi-device flexibility makes User CALs the default choice for knowledge workers, executives, and mobile employees who switch between desktop, laptop, tablet, and phone throughout the day. Windows Server 2022 brings Secured-core security, SMB over QUIC for VPN-less file access, TLS 1.3 by default, and Azure Arc integration — all accessible to properly licensed users. The CAL covers all built-in server roles: Active Directory, file and storage services, DNS, DHCP, IIS, WSUS, Windows Admin Center, and Hyper-V management interfaces. This 50-pack provides volume pricing for medium-sized deployments. For larger organizations, 50-packs can be stacked — purchasing two packs covers 100 users. Licenses are perpetual and never require renewal or reactivation.
