π» What Is an RDS Device CAL?
An RDS Device CAL is assigned to a specific device that accesses Remote Desktop Services. Unlike a User CAL, the license is associated with the device rather than an individual person.

π Windows Server 2022 Compatibility
Microsoft’s RDS licensing documentation confirms that Windows Server 2022 RDS CALs can be used with Windows Server 2022 session hosts. The compatibility table also indicates that Windows Server 2022 RDS CALs can access Windows Server 2019 and 2016 session hosts, while earlier-version RDS CALs cannot be used to access a newer Windows Server version. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
π Important Licensing Information
An RDS Device CAL does not replace the underlying Windows Server license or applicable Windows Server Base CALs. Microsoft states that a Windows Server license, Windows Server CAL, and incremental RDS CAL are required for users or devices using Windows Server Remote Desktop Services, subject to applicable licensing provisions.
Make sure the Windows Server environment itself is appropriately licensed and that the required base Windows Server CALs and RDS Device CALs are available for the deployment. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
βοΈ RDS Licensing Setup
RDS CALs are installed and managed through a Remote Desktop Licensing Server.

- Open Remote Desktop Licensing Manager.
- Install the purchased RDS CALs.
