A client access license known as (CAL) is a type of license binding the licensee to a set of user terms limiting how the organization’s services are used. This is typically done using software accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and a several-digit license key.
The end user is required to verify their CAL by transposing the license key numbers into a designated field prior to downloading the software.
This software has been in existence since August 2011 but in 2019 was used by many organizations, companies, institutions, etc. during the covid period where we all know there were restrictions on the movements of everyone all over the world and since then this software has been in use and been helpful.
But you may ask how much it will cost my business to sign up for this helpful software to make my business function well and my employees work easier, more effectively and with peace of mind.

- Enterprise CAL (Client Access License) = $90/Ghs1,215 /License (One-Time Purchase).
