hi,

the situation looking install per device , per user cal depends on requirement. here trying explain more regarding cal make clear understanding.

user cals:
user cal, purchase cal every user accesses server use services such file storage or printing, regardless of number of devices use access. purchasing user cal might make more sense if company employees need have roaming access corporate network using multiple devices, or unknown devices, or have more devices users in organization.

device cals:
device cal, purchase cal every device accesses server, regardless of number of users use device access server. device cals may make more economic , administrative sense if company has workers share devices, example, on different work shifts.
