In Microsoft's SQL Server 2012 Licensing Reference Guide, it states on page 9 that for the SERVER+CAL Licensing Model: Note: Devices not operated by humans require device CALS, even when connecting to SQL Server indirectly. What types
of devices would this include ? We have devices that are monitored in an automated environment and report back data that is then stored in a SQL Standard database. Would these devices need CALs? They are not operated by humans but our reseller
states that device CALs are not required. Who should we trust for proper licensing of these devices ? The SQL Eula does not make reference to this device requirement like the Licensing Reference Guide does? Confused?
