A Client Access License (CAL) is a license that grants a user or a device access to a specific server. In the case of Microsoft SQL Server 2019, a CAL is required for every user or device that accesses the server. A CAL is not required for the server itself; it is required only for the users or devices that access it.

Microsoft SQL Server 2019 CAL is available in two editions: Standard and Enterprise. The Standard edition provides basic relational database management capabilities and supports up to 24 cores per instance. The Enterprise edition, on the other hand, provides advanced features such as data warehousing, high availability, and advanced analytics. It supports up to 128 cores per instance.

When it comes to licensing, Microsoft offers two types of CALs: User CAL and Device CAL. A User CAL is assigned to a specific user and allows that user to access the server from any device. A Device CAL is assigned to a specific device and allows any user who uses that device to access the server.

It is important to note that Microsoft SQL Server 2019 CAL is a perpetual license, meaning that it is valid for as long as the server is in use. However, if you want to upgrade to a newer version of the software, you will need to purchase a new license.
