Perpetual license Original Microsoft licenseWhat is SQL Server 2017 User CAL?
SQL Server User CAL is an access license assigned to a specific employee within an organisation, allowing them to connect to a SQL Server 2017 Standard instance from any number of devices. One user with a User CAL license key can access the database from a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. SQL Server 2017 is a proven and mature database platform, ideal for companies looking for stability and the best balance of price and performance. For teams of up to several dozen users, the CAL licensing model is significantly cheaper than the Core model.
Key Benefits
Fully compliant software licensing
Original Microsoft User CAL licenses with complete purchase documentation. A VAT invoice and license assignment register provide proof of legality for internal and external audits.
Flexible team expansion
Hiring new employees? Simply buy additional User CAL packs. There is no need to change your licensing model or rebuild your infrastructure — scaling remains simple and cost-effective.
Proven edition at a lower price
SQL Server 2017 offers excellent value for money. Compared with newer 2019 or 2022 editions, CAL licenses for the 2017 version are significantly cheaper, while performance for typical business workloads remains comparable.
Work across multiple devices
Your employees can use SQL Server 2017 from any device — a laptop while travelling, an office PC, or a tablet during meetings. User CAL follows the person, not the hardware, supporting modern hybrid work models.
Support through 2027
Microsoft extended support for SQL Server 2017 runs until October 2027. For the coming years, you can rely on security updates that protect against new vulnerabilities and cyber threats.
️Protection for company data
SQL Server 2017 provides encryption for data at rest and in transit, dynamic masking of sensitive columns, encryption key management, and comprehensive change auditing — the foundation of a secure database environment.

User CAL vs Device CAL — which is better for your business?
User CAL is the best choice when employees use multiple devices: a laptop at the office, a computer at home, and a tablet on the move. One User CAL license covers one employee regardless of the number of devices. Device CAL works best in environments where multiple people use the same computers — for example production workstations, reception desks, or laboratories. One license covers one device regardless of the number of users. The simple calculation: count users and devices. License the smaller group and save money.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does User CAL allow simultaneous access from multiple devices?
Yes. A user assigned a User CAL can connect to SQL Server at the same time from a laptop, desktop computer, and tablet. There is no limit on the number of simultaneous sessions for one user, provided that the same person is connecting.
Do I need a server license in addition to CALs?
Yes, the “Server + CAL” model requires both a license for the SQL Server 2017 Standard server itself and the appropriate number of CAL licenses. The server license and CAL licenses are two separate products which together create full usage rights.
Is SQL Server 2017 a good choice in 2026?
Yes, for many business applications SQL Server 2017 remains an excellent choice. It offers all key features: replication, Always On Availability Groups, In-Memory OLTP, ML Services, and much more. Security support runs through 2027, while the license price is significantly lower than for newer versions.
How do I transfer a User CAL to a new employee?
You may transfer a User CAL license to a new employee after 90 days from the last assignment. If an employee leaves the company, the transfer is possible immediately. Update the license register — remove the previous user and enter the new user with the assignment date.
Is the User CAL license perpetual?
Yes, the license is perpetual. After a one-time purchase, you can use it for an unlimited period. There are no subscription fees, annual renewals, or additional costs. The access right never expires.
Can I combine User CAL and Device CAL in one environment?
Yes, Microsoft allows both CAL license types to be mixed. You can assign User CALs to mobile employees and Device CALs to shared workstations. This makes it possible to optimise licensing costs in diverse environments.
Will I receive a VAT invoice?
Yes, Licensier issues a VAT invoice for every order. The invoice is available in the customer panel and sent by email. It serves as official proof of purchase for accounting and licensing audits.
Does User CAL also cover indirect access through applications?
Yes, every user gaining direct or indirect access to SQL Server, for example through an ERP, CRM, or web application, must have a User CAL license. This also applies when the user does not connect directly to the database but uses an application that queries SQL Server in the background.
