FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -If you want external users-such as business partners, external contractors, or customers-to be able to access your network, you have two licensing options: Acquire CALs for each of your external users. Acquire External Connector (EC) licenses for each server that will be accessed by your external users.

Detailed explanation-2: -A Windows Server Client Access License (CAL) is a license that gives a user or device the right to access services, such as printing or access to a file share, from a server running the Windows Server operating system (OS). Microsoft offers device CALs and user CALs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Device CALs are ideal for customers with multiple users for one device, such as shift workers. A User CAL is a license for every named user to access a server (from any device) regardless of the number of devices they use.

Detailed explanation-4: -CALs apply to either a “device” (as defined in the license agreement) or a “user". A business is free to choose either mode. With user CALs, each CAL allows one user to connect to the server software whenever they need to. Once the CAL has been allocated to that user, it cannot be used by another user.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are two types of CALs: Device and User CALs. Figuring out the number of users and devices that will be connecting to the solution helps you determine which type to use.
