I am new to setting up Active Directory with Windows Server 2022 and currently reviewing the licensing price and requirements. I noticed that there is a User/Device CAL license needed. I understand that the Windows Server 2022 license is a perpetual license, but what about the CAL license? Does the User CAL license require yearly renewal or one time payment?
I would like to understand how Windows CAL licensing works.
