CAL Question

If I have 3 programs on my desktop that connect to two
different SQL Server databases (two to 1 and 1 to the
other) , yeah! looks funny, I know.
How many SQL Server CAL's do I need? Are these server CALs
or Device CALs or does it matter?
If I am using all three programs at the same time does it
make a difference? I would appreciate any input or even
clarifications on my question.
Ta!
A CAL (user or device, there is no such thing as a server CAL) allows you to
access any SQL Servers in your organisation. You still need licenses for
every server on which you install SQL Server of course.
