Windows 10: Licensing CAL OEM channel

Hello good afternoon. Purchasing a package of 50 CAL's together with a Server OEM, would these CAL's be linked to the licensing of this equipment as well? I am referring to the fact that it is an OEM product which is born and dies with hardware. If so, assuming that this hardware will die, would the CALs purchased along with the machine become unusable in terms of compliance?

Revoking all Device CAL licenses issue

Dears in Microsoft Support,



we have Windows Server 2012 with License Server activated on two Domain Controllers which they are working as Active/Standby.

We noticed that our client cannot get Device CAL license since all licenses are issued. We tried to revoke licenses but only 20% of licenses can be revoked and we need to wait till April 2019 in order to revoke more.



We need your support on the following:

1. How to revoke all issued Device CAL licenses on Windows 2012 License server?
2. How to revoke specific issued license forcibility even we reach 20% of revoke scenario?
3. How to change expiry date for issued licenses?
4. Currently we have 20 Device CAL licenses, where 10 is installed on DC1 and 10 is installed on DC2. Is this standard Microsoft scenario when having two DC servers working as Active/Standby? Is there any possibility to install the same 20 CAL licenses
   on both DC1 and DC2 separately?

Really appreciate your kind feedbacks

Now 50 users in the intranet will be accessing the webserver. Do we require to purchase SQL CAL license for each devices accessing the webserver?

our application using only one connection string to the database server
all ther users are asp.net users

do we require Cal license for every computers accessing the webserver
