Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Standard - 1 Device Client Access License

Secure, Licensed Access to Your SQL Server Environment

Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Standard – 1 User Client Access License (CAL) provides a single named user with the rights to securely access a SQL Server 2022 Standard environment. Designed for organizations using the Server + CAL licensing model, this user-based license enables flexible access to databases, applications, and reporting tools across multiple devices.

Ideal for modern, mobile workforces, User CALs ensure consistent and compliant access while simplifying license management for IT teams.

Enable Access by User, Not Device

One License Per Named User

This User CAL is assigned to a specific individual, allowing them to access SQL Server from any supported device. Whether working from a desktop, laptop, or remote workstation, the user retains full access under a single license.

Built for Multi-Device Workflows

Perfect for employees who switch between devices throughout the day, User CALs eliminate the need to license each endpoint individually, reducing complexity and improving flexibility.

Built for SQL Server 2022 Standard

Required for SQL Server Access

This CAL is required to access Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Standard (server license sold separately). Once assigned, users can connect to database services, applications, and reporting systems hosted within your SQL Server environment.

Seamless Integration with Business Applications

Enable access to critical systems such as ERP platforms, CRM tools, internal applications, and analytics dashboards powered by SQL Server.

Maintain Security and Compliance

Controlled User-Based Access

User CALs help enforce identity-based access control, ensuring only licensed individuals can connect to your SQL Server environment. This strengthens governance and reduces unauthorized usage risk.

Simplified License Management

Managing access at the user level makes it easier for IT teams to assign permissions, monitor usage, and maintain compliance with Microsoft licensing requirements.

Flexible and Scalable Licensing

Designed for Growing Teams
