11. Authenticated users require User or Device CALs, and shared devices may require Device CALs
Active Directory authenticated users require either a User CAL for unlimited devices associated with their username OR a Device CAL for every device from which they authenticate to Lync Server. Shared devices such as conference phones, IP phones, kiosks, or hot desking devices used by multiple users require Device CALs if they are primarily used by users without User CALs. Devices such as USB Peripherals and analog devices do not require User CALs or Device CALs.
