Deployment fit

Match your 2022 CAL type to how access is used

The right CAL type depends on whether remote access follows people or fixed endpoints. Use this as a final deployment check before selecting the quantity.

Access follows people User CALs

Fits named employees, contractors, or regular users who may connect from more than one device.

Access follows endpoints Device CALs

Fits shared terminals, fixed workstations, kiosks, lab PCs, or shift-based access where devices are easier to track than users.

Workgroup environment? User CALs are best suited to Active Directory environments. For workgroup-style Windows Server 2022 RDS setups, Device CALs are usually the cleaner choice. Contact us if your setup is mixed or unusual.
