Join nowIn environments where computers are shared by multiple employees, licensing every individual user quickly becomes an administrative burden and an unnecessary expense. The Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Device CAL (Client Access License) offers a streamlined, cost-effective solution by licensing the device itself. Once a workstation, kiosk, or terminal is assigned a Device CAL, an unlimited number of users can access all the core services of your Windows Server 2016 infrastructure from that specific machine. This 50-pack provides perpetual licensing rights for fifty devices, making it the definitive choice for organisations operating in shifts, managing public access points, or running educational labs where hardware is a shared resource.
This is a genuine, volume-licensing Device CAL pack designed for businesses and public sector organisations that already have a Windows Server 2016 Standard or Datacenter foundation. It grants the legal right for each assigned device to authenticate against Active Directory, access file shares and network printers, utilise DNS and DHCP services, and interact with any other Windows Server roles. Unlike User CALs, which follow a person across their multiple devices, a Device CAL anchors the access right to a single piece of hardware, simplifying compliance in fixed-asset environments. This license is perpetual, meaning it is a one-time purchase with no recurring subscription fees, and it includes downgrade rights to access earlier versions of Windows Server.
Your purchase delivers everything required to legally bring fifty devices into compliance with Windows Server 2016 licensing. You will receive a genuine Microsoft Volume License agreement confirmation, which includes the unique Device CAL license key or activation ID. This is typically provided as a Multiple Activation Key (MAK) or Key Management Service (KMS) client setup key, depending on the specific volume licensing programme fulfilment. The license is perpetual, meaning the access rights for Windows Server 2016 do not expire.
Along with the license itself, you receive a full VAT invoice suitable for business accounting and tax reclamation. A comprehensive activation guide is included, walking you through the process of assigning CALs within your server environment. It is crucial to understand that Device CALs are a legal right of access; they do not require a unique product key to be typed into each client workstation. Instead, you manage them within your server's licensing manager or simply hold the documentation as proof of purchase for audit purposes. This pack requires an existing installation of Windows Server 2016 Standard or Datacenter and does not include the server operating system itself. The license is valid for activation and use across all 27 EU member states.
A Windows Server 2016 Device CAL is a license, not software, and therefore has no hardware requirements for the client device beyond its ability to connect to a network. The core prerequisite is that your organisation must have a licensed instance of Windows Server 2016 Standard or Datacenter running on your server hardware. The client devices assigned these CALs can run any supported Windows client operating system, such as Windows 10 or Windows 11, to access the server's resources.
This license is exclusively for accessing Windows Server services and is not compatible with macOS or Linux clients for direct server authentication, though those clients may access basic web services published by the server. The license supports server environments configured in multiple languages, including English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, and Japanese. For the most current and detailed information on server-side hardware requirements, we recommend consulting the official Microsoft Windows Server 2016 documentation, as the Device CAL itself imposes no client-side processor, RAM, or storage prerequisites.
After completing your purchase through our Stripe-secured checkout, your license information will be delivered digitally. You will receive an email within minutes containing your VAT invoice, the Windows Server 2016 Device CAL license details, and a step-by-step activation guide. The average delivery time is under sixty seconds, ensuring you can proceed with your deployment without delay.
Activation of Device CALs differs from installing a software product key. There is no key to enter on each of the fifty client devices. Instead, you must keep the proof of license documentation you receive from us. If you are using a Multiple Activation Key (MAK) for your server, you will manage activations centrally. For KMS-based environments, the CALs are simply a legal requirement, and your KMS server handles local activation. Our guide details both scenarios. Should you encounter any issues or have questions about your license's validity, our free multilingual technical support team is available to assist. As this is a perpetual license, you are covered for the lifetime of your Windows Server 2016 deployment and can reinstall your server environment as needed without affecting the validity of your Device CALs.

This is a perpetual license, meaning it is a one-time purchase. You pay once for the right for a device to access Windows Server 2016, and that right does not expire. There are no monthly or annual subscription fees.
A Device CAL licenses a specific physical device, such as a shared desktop computer or a kiosk. Any number of users can use that device to access the server. A User CAL licenses a specific user, allowing them to access the server from any device, like their office PC, laptop, and smartphone. Device CALs are ideal for shared workstations; User CALs are better for mobile employees with multiple devices.
Our system delivers licenses digitally with an average delivery time of under 60 seconds. You will receive an email with your license details, VAT invoice, and activation guide almost immediately after your payment is processed.
Yes, absolutely. All licenses sold by Lizensa are 100% genuine and sourced from authorised European distribution channels. You will receive a valid license that is fully compliant for use in a business environment and will pass a Microsoft software audit.
No. Device CALs are a legal right of access, not a software product key that you type into each client PC. You simply hold the proof of license documentation. In volume licensing programmes, you may manage activations via a MAK or KMS server, but the CAL itself is not a client-side installation key.
No. Device CALs are version-specific. A Windows Server 2016 Device CAL grants access only to servers running Windows Server 2016. It does, however, include downgrade rights, allowing the licensed device to access servers running older versions like Windows Server 2012 R2.
Our free multilingual technical support team is available to assist you. We can help clarify licensing terms, guide you through volume activation management, and provide the documentation you need to prove your compliance in the event of a software audit.
Yes, a Device CAL can be reassigned. If a licensed device is permanently retired or replaced, you can transfer the CAL to a new device. The license is not permanently locked to a single piece of hardware for its entire lifespan.
Yes, a full VAT invoice is provided with every purchase. For B2B customers within the EU, a reverse charge mechanism is available when you provide a valid VAT identification number during checkout.
We offer a secure, Stripe-powered checkout that accepts a wide range of payment methods, including SEPA bank transfers, iDEAL, BLIK, Google Pay, and all major credit and debit cards.
We offer a 14-day right of refund in accordance with EU consumer protection regulations. If you have not activated or used the license, you can request a full refund within 14 days of your purchase.
Yes. A Windows Server Device CAL or User CAL is required for general server access, but it does not grant rights to use Remote Desktop Services. You must purchase separate RDS CALs for any user or device that will connect to a remote desktop session host.
