title: Sql Server 2012 cal licence model
body: <p>I´m currently evaluating the adquisition of a MSSQL 2012 standard edition license, however this is my problem:</p>
  
  <p>I'll have around 100 different users logging through the same application on the same server (RDP), so the server will see 100 connections with the same login and host + 1 management user which could be on different devices.</p>
  
  <p>The hardware is not new so we'll be using a 2 core xeon</p>
  
  <p>because the sql server will get 2 different logins, I should get: <br /></p>
  
  <pre><code>(898) Server licence +&lt;br /&gt;
  (418) 2 CAL user licences &lt;br /&gt;
  (1316) Total &lt;br /&gt;
  
  is this right?, or the server will see:
  (898) Server licence +&lt;br /&gt;
  (209) 1 CAL device licences &lt;br /&gt;
  (209) 1 CAL user licences &lt;br /&gt;
  (1316) Total &lt;br /&gt;
  
  or:
  (898) Server licence +&lt;br /&gt;
  (209) 1 CAL device licences &lt;br /&gt;
  (20,900) 100 CAL user licences &lt;br /&gt;
  (22,207) Total &lt;br /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which would be excessive and i better go for a core license model and get:<code>&lt;br /&gt;</code>
  (7,172) a 4 core licensing model</p>
  
  <p>Can you guys point towards more information on the license model i should go for?, thanks in advance.</p>
