Windows Server 2022 CAL 1 device cal – compliant licensing for your server environment

A Windows Server 2022 CAL (Client Access License) grants one device the right to access a Windows Server 2022 instance. This 1 device CAL is a per-device license, meaning each device (not each user) requires its own CAL. It is essential for legal compliance when users or devices connect to a Windows Server for file sharing, remote desktop, or other network services. Lizensa delivers this license digitally with clear activation instructions and EU-based support.

Key features:

• Per-device licensing – One CAL covers a single device, regardless of how many users access the server from that device. Ideal for shared workstations or shift-based environments.
• Digital delivery – Receive your license key and download instructions via email immediately after purchase. No physical media, no shipping delays.
• Broad compatibility – Works with Windows Server 2022 Standard, Datacenter, and Essentials editions. Also supports access to Remote Desktop Services, Exchange, SharePoint, and SQL Server when properly licensed.
• Business and private use – Suitable for commercial deployments, managed IT environments, and home labs where license terms permit. Lizensa support helps with activation and installation questions.
• EU compliance and support – All licenses are sourced through authorized channels. Lizensa provides VAT invoices and responds to pre- and post-sale queries from European buyers.

It is especially relevant for companies with multiple employees sharing a single workstation (e.g., manufacturing floors, retail counters, healthcare clinics) where per-device licensing reduces costs.
