User CAL or Device CAL?

Choose the Windows Server 2025 CAL type that matches your access model

Before selecting a pack size, decide whether your Windows Server 2025 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 2025 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.
2025 downgrade rights

Use Windows Server 2025 RDS CALs across supported versions

Windows Server 2025 RDS CALs are the newest option for current deployments and can also be used with eligible earlier Windows Server RDS environments. This helps when your business is licensing a 2025 server now, supporting older RDS servers, or planning a phased server upgrade.
Avoid version mismatch Newer RDS CALs can cover earlier supported versions. Older RDS CALs cannot be used for newer Windows Server RDS deployments.
2025 Supported Windows Server 2025 RDS Use 2025 RDS CALs for Windows Server 2025 Remote Desktop Services deployments.
2022 Downgrade use Windows Server 2022 RDS Eligible for Windows Server 2022 Remote Desktop Services environments.
2019 Downgrade use Windows Server 2019 RDS Eligible for Windows Server 2019 Remote Desktop Services environments.
2016 Downgrade use Windows Server 2016 RDS Eligible for Windows Server 2016 Remote Desktop Services environments.
Planning a phased server upgrade? A 2025 RDS CAL can simplify purchasing when your organization is moving gradually from older RDS servers to Windows Server 2025.
Same rule for cloud and on-premises Whether your RDS environment is on-premises, hosted on a dedicated server, or deployed in a cloud environment, the CAL version still needs to fit the Windows Server RDS version being licensed.
