SharePoint 2016 licensing for CSWB

Hi

We are just starting with a project where we are planning to use CSWB.

I have not looked at SharePoint licensing in quite a while.

The users have Standard Cals.

Is there a SharePoint service license as well.
The client said that the Farm is Enterprise and the cals are standard.

Can we make use of CSWB?

Thanks

Hi
Found this site that explains best what you get.
First Server Enterprise vs Standard and below that the difference between Standard and Enterprise Cals.

If you take a look at the SharePoint Online Service description that also contains SharePoint Server information, you will see that for using Search WebParts you need SharePoint Server Entreprise: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sharepoint-online-service-description.aspx

  Thanks for that reply.
  I understand the Enterprise is needed...
  
  So is it possible to have the Farm on Enterprise and the cals are standard. (Updates: Yes it is)
  And if so, what needs to be enterprise, the farm or the cals?
  
  Kind Regards
