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 |

Frequently Asked Questions
The easiest rule of thumb is to count your users and your devices, then license whichever number is smaller:
- Choose RDS User CALs if your employees work from multiple devices (e.g., a laptop, smartphone, and home PC). One User CAL covers one specific person across all their devices.
- Choose RDS Device CALs if multiple people share a single workstation (e.g., shift workers, call centers, or lab kiosks). One Device CAL covers one specific machine, regardless of how many users log into it.
