Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Standard - 50 User CAL Pack

The Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Standard 50 User CAL Pack licenses fifty named users to connect to your SQL Server 2016 Standard instances. SQL Server 2016 was a landmark release that brought real-time operational analytics, temporal tables, row-level security, dynamic data masking, and Always Encrypted to the Standard edition.

User CALs assign access rights to individual people. Each licensed user can connect from any number of devices — desktops, laptops, tablets, or mobile clients — making User CALs ideal for organizations where employees work across multiple endpoints or embrace BYOD policies.

SQL Server 2016 Standard introduced several transformative features. Real-time operational analytics lets you run analytical queries directly against transactional data without ETL overhead. Temporal tables provide built-in time-travel queries for auditing and historical analysis. Row-level security and dynamic data masking protect sensitive data at the engine level.

The Query Store feature acts as a flight recorder for your database, tracking query plans and performance over time. Always Encrypted protects sensitive data in transit and at rest, with keys that never leave the client application.

This 50-pack covers mid-size teams with perpetual licensing. Each CAL grants access to all SQL Server 2016 Standard instances in your environment. Digital delivery ensures immediate deployment.
