❓ What is an RDS CAL for Windows Server 2016 used for?
An RDS Client Access License (CAL) is required for each user or device that connects to a Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host server. It allows access to remote desktops, RemoteApp published applications, and Terminal Server-style sessions.
❓ What is the difference between a user CAL and a device CAL?
A User CAL authorizes a named user to connect from an unlimited number of devices: PC, laptop, tablet or teleworking station. A Device CAL is linked to a single station, regardless of the number of people using it.
❓ Are the 5 user licenses compatible with Windows Server 2012 R2?
Yes, an RDS 2016 CAL has downgrade rights to earlier versions of the server, such as Windows Server 2012 R2. On the other hand, it is not suitable for a more recent server, such as Windows Server 2019 or 2022, which requires a CAL of an equivalent or higher version.
❓ How to install and activate RDS CALs on the license server?
Install the Remote Desktop Licensing role in Server Manager, and then activate the license server in Remote Desktop Licensing Manager. Then use the "Install Licenses" option to register your CALs, then specify the licensing mode (per user) and license server in the RDS deployment properties.
❓ Is a classic Windows Server CAL enough to use Remote Desktop?
No, the standard Windows Server CAL provides access to file, print, and authentication services. As soon as users open multi-user Remote Desktop sessions on the server, a specific RDS CAL is added to the Windows Server CAL.
