Remote Desktop Services CAL

Remote Desktop Services CALs: Secure remote access for your team

Do you want to enable your employees to access desktops or central applications from anywhere? Then Remote Desktop Services (RDS) are the solution. To license this remote access legally, you need special RDS CALs. Important to know: an RDS CAL is required in addition to a regular Windows Server CAL. At Software-Dealz you will find the right licences – 100% legal, available instantly.

RDS User CAL vs. RDS Device CAL: Flexibility made to measure

Depending on your way of working, you choose the right licence to achieve maximum cost efficiency:

• RDS User CAL (user licence): The best option for employees who need remote access from different devices, e.g. from the office PC, a home-office laptop and a tablet. One user is licensed and may access from an unlimited number of devices.
• RDS Device CAL (device licence): Ideal for environments where several users share one device. License a thin client in a call centre or a PC used in shifts, and every employee may access the RDS environment from that device.

Prerequisite: The Standard Windows Server CAL

Please note that an RDS CAL is an additive licence. Every user or device that accesses a server via RDS needs two licences:

1. One Windows Server CAL (user or device) for general server access.
2. One RDS CAL (user or device) for the specific remote access.

Compatibility is crucial

The golden rule applies here too: the version of your RDS CAL must be the same as or newer than the version of your Windows Server running the RDS Session Host role. An RDS CAL 2022 is therefore valid for access to an RDS host 2022, 2019 or 2016 – but not the other way round.
