User CAL or Device CAL?

Choose the Windows Server 2022 CAL type that matches your access model

Before selecting a pack size, decide whether your Windows Server 2022 RDS CALs should license individual people or fixed endpoints. The right choice depends on how users connect to your Remote Desktop Services environment.

Simple buying rule User CALs follow people. Device CALs follow endpoints. Shared computers usually fit better with Device CALs.
Licensed by person Choose User CALs

Best when a specific person needs Remote Desktop access from more than one device, such as a desktop, laptop, home PC, or temporary workstation.

Licensed by endpoint Choose Device CALs

Best when several people share the same assigned device, such as a reception computer, shop-floor terminal, kiosk, shared workstation, or fixed office PC.

Workgroup server? For Windows Server 2022 RDS deployments, User CALs are best suited to Active Directory environments. If the server is in a Workgroup and you do not plan to use Active Directory, Device CALs are usually the safer choice. Contact us if you are unsure before buying.

Use Windows Server 2022 RDS CALs across supported versions

Windows Server 2022 RDS CALs are intended for Windows Server 2022 Remote Desktop Services deployments and eligible downgrade use on supported Windows Server 2019 and 2016 RDS environments. They do not license Windows Server 2025 deployments.
Version match rule Choose the RDS CAL version that matches the newest Windows Server RDS deployment you need to license.
2022 Supported Windows Server 2022 RDS Use 2022 RDS CALs for Windows Server 2022 Remote Desktop Services deployments.
