Security level of a “paper-based” licenses

Hi Megan,

Client Access Monitoring or CALs for windows is performed by licensing Service that are running on the Management Server. Please refer that to https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/

Monitoring data for CALs appear on License Management on the license tab. To view user information click the user Licenses on the License tab and to view the assignment regarding device, click on Device License on the License tab.

CALs is paper-based license, and it does not need any installation on the server, unless they are TS cal, or Terminal Server. It just a proof that you have X number of clients, for license verification or what you need is just a EULA (End user license agreement).
