Microsoft Windows Server 2025 Standard Edition 5 Device CAL

The Microsoft Windows Server 2025 Standard Edition 5-Device CAL is a licensing pack that grants five devices the legal right to access services running on a Windows Server Standard or Datacenter installation. In Microsoft's licensing model, every device or user connecting to a Windows Server requires a valid Client Access License, and this pack covers the device side of that requirement. Each Device CAL is tied to a physical device rather than an individual user, making this the appropriate choice for environments where workstations, kiosks, or terminals are shared among multiple employees throughout the day.

These CALs are backward compatible, meaning they authorize access not only to Windows Server 2025 but also to any earlier version of Windows Server still in operation. This is particularly useful for organizations running mixed-version server environments during phased upgrades. It is important to note that this product contains access licenses only — the Windows Server 2025 operating system software and its associated server license must be acquired separately. Microsoft cautions buyers to purchase only from authorized channels, as counterfeit CALs are not uncommon in the marketplace and carry compliance risks.
