Microsoft Exchange Server is a platform where you can manage your e-mail correspondence, calendar and contacts. The license is compatible with Windows Server operating system (OS) for business use.

Microsoft Exchange Server is a calendar, messaging, scheduling, contacts and collaboration platform from Microsoft. This platform is deployed on the Windows Server operating system (OS) exclusively for business use. Microsoft has designed Exchange Server in a way that allows users to access the messaging platform from desktops, Web systems and mobile devices. Like Windows Server products, Exchange Server requires Client Access Licenses (CALs), of which there are two main types: User CALs & Device CALs.
Exchange Server Enterprise is primarily intended for organizations that want to utilize Database Availability Groups (DAGs) for high availability. The Exchange servers of a DAG can host copies of the mailbox databases of the other Mailbox servers in this group in addition to their own mailbox databases. Thus, these provide automatic recovery of the mailbox database when, for example, a disk, network or server failure occurs.
Exchange Server 2016 Standard is limited to 5 DAG mailbox databases and therefore quickly becomes unsuitable for multiple mailbox databases. Exchange Server 2016 Enterprise supports up to 100 linked mailbox databases per server. This is the only difference between Standard and Enterprise editions.

The abbreviation CAL means "Client Access License" and describes a license that allows the client (the business owner) to provide access to Microsoft Exchange Server licenses such as 2013, 2016 or 2019 to devices or users within the company. To do this, the customer has a choice of three different options:
A Device CAL license provides devices with access to Exchange Server. This is advantageous to people who want to use Exchange Server on only one device or if you have less devices than users who need access to the server.
The User CAL license means that you pay for each individual user who accesses the services through the server. For example, if one of your employees needs access to the server through different devices/devices, that user needs a User CAL license. This can be purchased in addition to the Server license. A User CAL is also useful if you have less users than devices.
The third, and also last, type of CAL license is from RDS-CAL (Remote Desktop Services) which goes to a remote desktop service. This is also referred to as a "remote CAL server."
These licenses are actually intended for administrators of employees who need remote access to servers. These include employees who work both in the office, and at home. With
Please note that CAL licenses are NOT included with Microsoft Exchange Server Enterprise or Standard licenses and must be purchased separately.
