I demystify the concept of Windows Server client access licenses, explain what they are, and give a tip to manage them effectively.

Your video specifically answered literally every question I had regarding CALs. It was almost too specific...😶. Lol, thank you for taking the time to make this video.

very good explanation. Worth a second viewing and saved for further reference. You reminded me of my teacher at university.

Thank you very much for explaining this the way you have, I have been very confused about CAL’s and you have now answered all my questions.

THANK YOU - especially for clearing up whether you need CALs for each server or just one for each user in a Domain (it's the latter).

Nicely explained. Needed to understand it as recently installed licenses on 2 machines and it helped to understand total license requirement.

This has helped me a lot... to realize I need to get more into Linux for core services. Geez. x.x

Thanks Eddie that has answered many of my questions. I've tried to find out if buying a new Windows Server 2019 box to add to an existing Windows Server 2016 box on the network, would need a set of 2019 CALs. I would not need the extra CALs if I downgraded the new server to 2016, as they would match versions, but do I need to get new CALs to make my Windows Server 2019 box legal? Thanks again for your video!

Thank you so much. Your video is very helpful and clarified a couple of things for me. I need CALs in my classroom. Can I transvers CALs to new user when the current users graduate or is it best to purchase device CALs since the the computers stay in the classroom? I think I know the answer to this...

Hi @Eddie, many thanks for very informative video. I had a question on the same, we have a windows 2012 R2 server, we want to allow more than two users to RDP into the server at the same time as the limit is 2. Do we need to buy 3 User CAL + 3 RDP CAL, or will just 3 User CAL be sufficient. Thanks.

Thank you, Eddie. Your video answered some of the confusion I had regarding CALs. I need one more clarification. My organization is looking into having a Key Management Service (KMS) server in house from Microsoft in order to activate windows server 2019 and windows 10, do we still have to order for CALs from Microsoft after the windows server 2019 and windows 10 have been activated for 180 days and continuing?
