Access Licenses Microsoft refers to Access Licenses as CAL’s Seat — Per device that will connect to the server Session — Per concurrent connection to the server User — per user account on the server Microsoft Licenses OEM — Cheapest, but only good for 1 computer Retail — Very expensive, but can be used for life Volume — Best bet for companies with 10 or more employees.
