Everyone within my organization will be able to access the SharePoint 2019 content whether or not we have the right number of CALs purchased?
We simply need to have the right number of CALs on hand in case we get audited?
Or if we don't have enough CALs on hand will it prevent a certain number of users from being able to access the SharePoint server?
 

Licensing question: Users able to access SharePoint 2019 content even if there aren't enough CALs available?

These capabilities include developing web sites, portals, intranets, content management systems, search engines, wikis, blogs, and other tools for business intelligence and collaboration. SharePoint has a Microsoft Office-like interface, and it is closely integrated with the Office suite.
