Description
Genuine Microsoft Windows Server 2019 RDS CAL
Running Windows Server 2019 and need to enable Remote Desktop Services? The RDS CAL is what makes it all properly licensed — and with extended Microsoft support running to 2029, it’s a solid long-term investment.
Product Overview
Every user or device connecting to a Windows Server 2019 Remote Desktop Session Host needs its own Windows Server 2019 RDS CAL — that’s a Microsoft licensing requirement, not optional. You get to choose the model that works best for your setup: a Windows Server 2019 RDS User CAL, which follows a person across all their devices, or a Windows Server 2019 RDS Device CAL, which covers a specific machine for any number of users. Either way, your organization stays fully properly licensed and your remote sessions keep running without interruption.
You might also see this called a Windows Server 2019 Terminal Services CAL — that’s just the old name for the same license. The Remote Desktop Services 2019 CAL gives your team access to apps, desktops, and data from wherever they’re working. Server 2019 is one of the most widely deployed server platforms out there, actively maintained by Microsoft through January 2029. When you buy Windows Server 2019 RDS CAL from us, you get a genuine Microsoft license with instant delivery — in your inbox and ready to activate the moment your payment goes through.
What Is a Remote Desktop Services 2019 CAL?
Think of it as two separate requirements. A standard Windows Server CAL covers access to the server itself. A Remote Desktop Services 2019 License — also known as an RDS Client Access License Windows Server 2019 or Windows Server 2019 RDP CAL — is the additional license that covers the Remote Desktop Session Host role specifically. Without a valid Windows Server 2019 Remote Desktop CAL in place, connections only work during a 120-day grace period before they stop entirely. It’s a separate requirement on top of your standard Server CAL, not a substitute for it.
