Server + CAL: you need one license for SQL Server database server (SERVER) and CAL (client access license) for each user that access your system. Further details and remarks you can find in the SQL Server Licensing Guide link above.
Core licensing: you acquire this based on the # of cores of your server. You don't need additional CAL for users.
