Description
Maintain Reliable Connectivity with Genuine User & Device CALs
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.
The Reliable, Proven Workhorse
Sometimes, you just need an IT environment that simply works without any surprises. If your infrastructure is built on stable, widely-tested applications, Windows Server 2019 RDS CALs are a fantastic, cost-effective way to scale your team’s remote access. It’s perfect for getting your employees securely connected to their remote apps and virtual desktops without the need to chase the newest tech trends.
When you source your Windows Server RDS CALs through RDS CAL Store, you secure a perpetual Microsoft license with instant digital delivery. Your keys arrive directly in your inbox, ready for immediate activation the moment your transaction clears.
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.
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.
User CAL vs Device CAL: RDS 2019
The User CAL vs Device CAL RDS 2019 choice usually comes down to one question: do you have more users or more devices? Get that right and you’ll almost always end up on the more cost-effective path.
| Feature | RDS User CAL 2019 | RDS Device CAL 2019 |
|---|---|---|
| Licensed To | Individual user (any device) | Specific device (any user) |
| Best For | Remote & hybrid workers using multiple devices | Shared workstations, kiosks, labs |
| Ideal Scenario | 1 user, many devices (laptop, tablet, phone) | 1 device, many users (shift workers) |
| Cost Efficiency | Fewer users than devices = save money | Fewer devices than users = save money |
