Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Standard - 50 User CAL Pack

Overview

The Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Standard 50 User CAL Pack provides Client Access Licenses for fifty named users to connect to your SQL Server 2014 Standard instances. Each User CAL is tied to an individual person, granting them unlimited access from any number of devices — ideal for mobile workforces and employees who use multiple workstations, laptops, or tablets. SQL Server 2014 Standard introduced significant improvements including buffer pool extensions for SSD caching, delayed durability for high-throughput write workloads, and native backup encryption. The In-Memory OLTP engine (Hekaton) in higher editions brought memory-optimized tables, while Standard edition gained columnstore indexes for analytical queries and enhanced AlwaysOn Availability Groups for high availability. User CALs follow a simple licensing model: one CAL per person, regardless of how many devices they use. This makes User CALs the most cost-effective choice when employees access SQL Server from multiple endpoints. For environments where devices outnumber users — such as shared terminals or shift-based operations — Device CALs may be more economical. This 50-pack is designed for mid-size deployments and growing teams. Each CAL in the pack grants access to any number of SQL Server 2014 Standard instances within your organization. CALs are perpetual — they never expire and require no recurring subscription fees. All licenses are genuine Microsoft volume licenses delivered digitally with full activation documentation.
