Per User One CAL covers the total number of
devices accessing or utilising the server owned
by one person
25
Cost Factors
Customers may prefer device CALs because they
have fewer devices than users or it is easier
for them to track devices For example Call
centre, factory floor or Asset Management
systems that are set up to track
devices Customers may prefer user CALs
because they have more devices than users or it
is easier for them to track users For example
Field sales people with multiple devices (Smart
Phones, PDA, Laptop etc) or because purchasing
systems are linked with HR processes that track
users
