CAL type guidance

Match your 2019 RDS CAL type to how access is used

Choose the CAL type based on who or what connects to Remote Desktop Services. For most Windows Server 2019 deployments, the decision comes down to whether access should follow people or shared endpoints.

Licensed by person Choose User CALs

Best when each named user needs RDS access from more than one device, such as an office PC, laptop, or home workstation.

Licensed by endpoint Choose Device CALs

Best when several users access RDS from the same fixed computers, terminals, shared workstations, kiosks, or other known endpoints.

Workgroup server? User CALs are best suited to Active Directory environments. If your Windows Server 2019 RDS server is in a workgroup, Device CALs are usually the cleaner choice. Contact us before buying if you are unsure.

Deployment readiness

Check your Windows Server 2019 RDS setup before checkout

Confirm the main RDS roles and licensing settings before choosing a CAL pack. This helps your IT team match the purchase to the way the deployment is actually configured.

Check the deployment first Server role, licensing mode, directory setup, and endpoint usage should be clear before selecting User or Device CALs.

RD Session Host role

Confirm the server that users connect to is configured for Remote Desktop Session Host access.

RD Licensing role

Check that an RD Licensing server is available to install, manage, and issue the selected CALs.

Licensing mode

Make sure the RDS licensing mode is set to match the CAL type you plan to purchase.

Access model

Confirm whether access is mainly tied to named users or fixed endpoint devices before selecting the pack.

Workgroup deployments For Windows Server 2019 RDS deployments in a workgroup, Device CALs are usually the cleaner choice because licensing is tied to endpoint devices.
Unsure about your setup? If the licensing mode or access model is unclear, contact RDS CAL Store before purchase so the CAL type can be checked against your deployment.
