Client Access Licensing

Client Access Licenses (CALs)

You must acquire and assign a CAL to each device or user that accesses your instances of the server software directly or indirectly. A hardware partition or blade is considered to be a separate device. The appropriate CAL for each product is listed in the Product-Specific License Terms section. You do not need CALs for:

  • any user or device that accesses your instances of the server software only through the Internet without being authenticated or otherwise individually identified by the server software or through any other means,
  • any of your servers licensed for and running instances of the server software,
  • up to two devices or users to access your instances of the server software only to administer those instances, or
  • any user or device accessing an instance running in a physical OSE that is used solely to run hardware virtualization software, provide hardware virtualization services, and/or run software to manage and service OSEs on the licensed server.

Your CALs permit access to your instances of earlier versions, but not later versions, of the server software, unless stated in the Product-Specific License Terms section. If you are accessing instances of an earlier version, you may also use CALs corresponding to that version.

Types of CALs

User and Device CALs: There are two types of CALs: one for devices and one for users. Each device CAL permits one device, used by any user, to access instances of the server software on your licensed servers. Each user CAL permits one user, using any device, to access instances of the server software on your licensed servers. You may use a combination of device and user CALs.

Base and Additive CALs: All server software access requires base CALs, and some server software functionality also requires additive CALs. Both types of CALs are listed in the Product-Specific License Terms section below. If you use functionality identified by name in that section, you need both the base CAL and additive CAL for that functionality.
