Microsoft Remote Desktop Services 2025 Device CAL

Microsoft Remote Desktop Services 2025 Device CAL – secure device access with a device-bound licence. Get yours now.

The Microsoft Remote Desktop Services 2025 Device CAL licenses the access of a specific device to the Remote Desktop Services of your Windows Server 2025. It is ideal for workplaces where several people use the same device – for example in shift operations, at kiosk or thin client stations and in training rooms. You get an original licence with a transparent origin; delivery is fast by email so you can start without detours.

With the Device CAL you opt for a clear and economical licensing model per end device. Use is unlimited in accordance with the Microsoft licensing terms for this version. Activation is carried out via the Remote Desktop Licensing Manager (RD Licensing). Please note: for general access to Windows Server, regular Windows Server CALs are also required; the RDS CAL only adds the Remote Desktop functions.

Features

• Device-based licence: One device receives access rights to RDS – regardless of how many people use this device.
• For Windows Server 2025 RDS: Designed for operating the Remote Desktop Services role on Windows Server 2025.
• Perpetual licence: Unlimited use in accordance with the guidelines for the respective version.
• Scalable: Additional devices can be licensed at any time with further Device CALs.
• Ideal for shared devices: Particularly useful in production, service, libraries, training and terminal environments.
• Fast delivery: Licence details and instructions arrive promptly by email.
• Easy activation: Installation via the Remote Desktop Licensing Manager.
• Transparent licence origin: Legally compliant original licence with documentation.
• Professional support: Help with setup and questions if you wish.

Benefits & value

A Device CAL offers predictable costs per workstation device and is therefore particularly efficient when several users use one and the same PC or thin client. You keep full control over access to sessions and applications, reduce licensing effort compared with user-based scenarios and benefit from perpetual licensing without a recurring subscription commitment for this CAL. Configuration via the RD licence server is clearly structured, so you can plan deployment, maintenance and expansions reliably – from the first activation to later scaling.

Compatibility & licence notes

• Product: Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS) 2025 Device CAL (access licence per device).
• Requirement: Separately licensed Windows Server 2025 with the RDS role enabled and an RD licence server set up.
• Distinction: A Device CAL is tied to one device. For users who access from several devices, a User CAL is more suitable.
• Also required: For general Windows Server access, regular Windows Server CALs are needed; RDS CALs additionally license the Remote Desktop functionality.
• Version: Designed for Windows Server 2025. Use on newer versions is not intended; backward compatibility with older server versions may exist depending on Microsoft requirements.
• No server included: This is solely an access licence, not a server or core licence.
