π» What Is an RDS Device CAL?
An RDS Device CAL is assigned to a particular device that is used to access Remote Desktop Services. Multiple users can use that licensed device without requiring a separate RDS CAL for each user, subject to Microsoft’s licensing terms.
Microsoft describes the Per Device model as particularly suitable for environments where multiple workers share the same computers, such as organizations operating multiple shifts. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
π₯ Ideal for Shared Devices
Device-based licensing can be useful when the number of devices is lower than the number of people using them. For example, a company may have several shifts of employees using the same workstations to connect to a Windows Server RDS environment.

π Windows Server 2019 Compatibility
Microsoft’s RDS licensing documentation confirms that Windows Server 2019 RDS CALs can be used with Windows Server 2019 session hosts. Microsoft also documents that newer RDS CAL versions can provide access to earlier supported Windows Server versions, while earlier CAL versions cannot be used to access newer server versions. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
π Important Licensing Information
RDS Device CALs do not replace the underlying Windows Server license or the applicable Windows Server Base CALs. Microsoft identifies RDS as an additional access license required for users or devices accessing Remote Desktop Services functionality. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
For a compliant deployment, ensure that the Windows Server itself is appropriately licensed and that the required base Windows Server CALs and RDS Device CALs are available for the environment.
βοΈ RDS Licensing Setup
RDS Device CALs are installed and managed through a Remote Desktop Licensing Server. Microsoft provides the following general setup process:
- Install the Remote Desktop Licensing role on a Windows Server.
- Activate the Remote Desktop Licensing Server.
- Install the purchased RDS CALs through Remote Desktop Licensing Manager.
- Select the appropriate Per Device licensing mode.
- Specify the licensing server for your RDS deployment.
- Configure the session hosts to use the appropriate licensing server.
Microsoft’s documentation confirms that the Remote Desktop Licensing Manager is used to install RDS CALs and that the deployment must be configured with the appropriate Per User or Per Device licensing mode. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
