## Device CAL vs User CAL vs Core License — Which Do You Need?

**Device CAL:** Tied to a specific device — any user on that device can access SQL Server. Best for shared workstations, kiosks, or shift-based environments where multiple users share one machine.  
**User CAL:** Tied to a specific user — they can access SQL Server from any device. Best for employees with their own dedicated devices.  
**Core License:** No CALs needed — unlimited users and devices can connect. Best for internet-facing applications or large user bases where CAL counting is impractical.

## Who Is This For?

Ideal for **businesses running shared workstations, manufacturing floors, retail POS systems, or any environment** where multiple users share a single device to access SQL Server 2022.
