Remote Desktop Services (RDS) in Windows Server allows users to remotely access desktops and applications hosted on a central server. To ensure proper licensing and secure access, Client Access Licenses (CALs) are required for both users and devices connecting to the RDS server.

Windows Server User & Device RD CALs come in two flavors:

• User CAL: Grants access to the RDS server for a specific user, regardless of the device they use. This is ideal for users who access from various devices, like laptops, desktops, and tablets. person working on a laptop with a remote desktop connection to a server
• Device CAL: Grants access to the RDS server for a specific device, used by any authorized user. This is ideal for shared devices in labs, kiosks, or hot desking environments. multiple people working on different devices connected to a remote desktop server

Choosing the right CAL type depends on your specific needs and usage patterns. Consider factors like:

• Number of users: If you have a fixed number of users with consistent access needs, User CALs may be more cost-effective.
• Device usage: If devices are shared by multiple users or primarily used for occasional remote access, Device CALs might be a better option.
• Budget: User CALs are typically more expensive than Device CALs, but can be more economical for highly mobile workforces.

Benefits of using Windows Server User & Device RD CALs:

• Secure remote access: Ensures authorized users and devices have controlled access to RDS resources.
• Compliance: Meets Microsoft licensing requirements for RDS deployments.
• Cost optimization: Choose the CAL type that best fits your usage patterns for efficient licensing.
• Scalability: Easily add or remove CALs as your needs evolve.
