Centralised communication with Microsoft Exchange Server SE
Microsoft Exchange Server SE supports organisations in the centralised management of business email communications, calendars, contacts and other functions of a modern messaging and communications environment.
The Device CAL is assigned to a specific device and enables access to the licensed Exchange Server SE environment. It is particularly suitable for workstations that are used by several employees or are permanently assigned to a specific device.
Device-based access to central Exchange functions
An Exchange Device CAL aligns licensing with the device. This means that a suitably licensed device can be used by different authorised users without the need for a separate Device CAL for each individual user of that device.
1 Device CAL
The access licence is assigned to a device and is therefore suitable for device-based licensing within an Exchange Server SE environment.
Shared workstations
Suitable for workstations and devices used by several employees.
Email & Messaging
Exchange Server provides core functions for business email communication and the management of mailboxes.
Calendar & Contacts
Centralised calendar and contact functions support organisation and collaboration within the company.
A centrally managed Exchange infrastructure can form part of modern NIS-2 server infrastructures ↗ and helps organisations manage their communication systems in a structured manner.

Licensing & legal notice
The Microsoft Exchange Server SE Standard Device CAL is an access licence for a single device. The CAL is intended for use in a suitably licensed Exchange Server SE server environment and supplements the required server licensing.
Microsoft offers the Exchange Server Subscription Edition Standard CAL as a basic access licence and classifies it as both a device CAL and a user CAL. Access to Exchange Server functions requires the relevant licence or a recognised CAL-equivalent licence.
The licence is provided digitally, including licence information and documentation for internal licence management. The specific rights of use are governed by the Microsoft licence terms applicable to the product.
In the ‘Licence Compliance & Legal Certainty’ section, we refer to the ECJ ruling (C-128/11 UsedSoft GmbH v Oracle International Corp.). This concerns the exhaustion of the right of distribution for certain software licences within the European Union. The specific permissibility of a licence transfer must always be assessed on the basis of the relevant licence terms and the legal requirements.
