RDS CALs 2022 (Remote Desktop Services)
The acronym CAL refers to ‘Client Access License‘ and describes a license that allows its client (the business owner) to provide access to its employees. Device CALs are the best choice for flexible companies with more employees and fewer devices. This way you can provide the device with acces to the network.

Remote Desktop Services, also called RDS CAL, are a part of the Microsoft licensing model. An RDS CAL (Client Access License), as the name suggests, is the authorization to access the server and use its services remotely. Depending on whether the RDS CAL allows a person or a device to access the server, the CAL can be either User CAL or Device CAL. In principle, your employees can work anywhere, anytime and from any device. Remote Desktop Service CALs are available for the following Microsoft licenses:
Windows Server
Microsoft SQL Server
Microsoft Sharepoint Server
Microsoft RDS
Microsoft Exchange Server
The workstation of RDS consists of a Windows desktop (desktop) installed not on the local computer, but on a server elsewhere (remote) or a remote desktop.It is an ideal solution for organizations to provide access to their servers and network. As long as there is an Internet connection, employees can work on the corporate network.
The abbreviation CAL refers to "Client Access License," and this is a license that allows the client (the business owner) to provide access to their employees. For this, the client has a choice between two different Windows Server CALs; User CAL and Device CAL.
Device CAL licensing allows a certain device to access the services of a server. Device CALs are especially useful for organizations with fewer devices than employees who need access to a server’s services.This is mainly the case because Device CALs in this instance are more cost-efficient.
User CAL is a license that allows the remote access to a server. As the name suggests, the license is connected to the user and not to the device which means that it is the better choice when a user needs to access the server through multiple devices. For example, if your employee works remotely through their computer, laptop, tablet or even their phone, it is more cost efficient to license the user with one RDS User CAL instead of all the devices with multiple RDS Device CALs.
