Operating system note: A Windows Server operating system license is not included.

User CALs vs Device CALs

Choose the right RDS CAL type for your deployment

Before buying, confirm whether your environment should be licensed by named users or by specific devices. This keeps your order aligned with how people actually connect to your Windows Server RDS environment.
Simple rule User CALs follow people. Device CALs follow endpoints. Shared computers usually fit better with Device CALs.
Licensed by person

RDS User CALs

Choose Remote Desktop Services User CALs when each named user needs remote access, especially when the same person connects from more than one device.
Best when:
  • The same users connect from laptops, office PCs, or home workstations.
  • Access is assigned to employees, contractors, or regular named users.
  • Licensing by person is cleaner than tracking every endpoint.
Deployment note: User CALs are best suited to Active Directory environments. If your server is on a workgroup and you do not intend to use Active Directory, select Device CALs.
Licensed by endpoint

RDS Device CALs

Choose Remote Desktop Services Device CALs when remote access is tied to specific computers, terminals, shared office systems, or fixed workstations.
Best when:
  • Multiple people use the same workstation or terminal.
  • Your environment uses shared desks, fixed PCs, or shift-based access.
  • Your Windows Server setup is workgroup-style or device-focused.
Selection tip: Device CALs are often simpler when access is tied to fixed endpoints rather than individual users.
Not sure which CAL type applies? Send a short note about how users connect and whether your server uses Active Directory or a workgroup. Contact support.
Procurement FAQ

Questions buyers ask before purchasing RDS CALs

A focused FAQ for IT buyers, administrators, consultants, MSPs, and procurement teams reviewing version fit, ownership, deployment use, and exchange options.
Review before checkout These answers cover common purchase questions before you proceed to buy or contact support.
How does your pricing compare to traditional CSP or procurement channels?
Traditional CSP and procurement channels often include pricing floors, distributor layers, reseller margins, and longer purchasing workflows. RDS CAL Store operates as an independent volume licensing specialist, allowing us to source Microsoft RDS CALs at scale and price them more efficiently.
Will these licenses pass a formal Microsoft audit or SAM review?
Our licenses are supplied as standard Microsoft volume licenses for compliant use in supported environments. If your organization is currently going through, preparing for, or responding to a formal Microsoft audit or Software Asset Management (SAM) review, please contact us before purchasing so we can confirm the right license format for your setup and compliance requirements.
Can IT consultants or MSPs purchase RDS CALs for clients?
Yes. IT consultants, MSPs, and system integrators can purchase RDS CALs for client deployments. Please mention the correct customer or client details in the order details or order notes when placing the order.
Do these CALs include downgrade rights for older server versions?
Yes. Higher-version RDS CALs include downgrade rights for earlier supported Windows Server RDS deployments. For example, Windows Server 2025 RDS CALs can be used with Windows Server 2025, 2022, 2019, and 2016 RDS environments. Older RDS CALs cannot be used with newer Windows Server versions.
Will these licenses expire or require renewal?
No. These are perpetual RDS CALs and do not require monthly or annual renewal. Once purchased, the licenses remain valid for the supported lifetime of the Windows Server RDS version they are purchased for, including eligible downgrade use.
Is there a time limit to activate the license after purchase?
No. There is no short activation deadline after purchase. You can keep the license details safely and activate the RDS CALs when you are ready to deploy them on a supported Windows Server RDS environment.
Do I own the license permanently?
Yes. These are perpetual RDS CALs. Once purchased, you retain ownership of the license for the supported lifetime of the Windows Server RDS version it is purchased for, including eligible downgrade use.
Are these licenses region-restricted?
No. Our RDS CALs are approved for worldwide deployment and are not region-restricted. You can install and deploy these licenses on servers located anywhere in the world.
Can I use these licenses on cloud platforms?
Yes. You can use these RDS CALs for Windows Server Remote Desktop Services deployments on cloud environments such as AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Microsoft Azure, third-party cloud hosting providers, dedicated servers, or on-premises servers, as long as the server environment supports standard RDS CAL installation and activation.
What if I misplace my license details?
If you misplace your license details, log in to your account on our website and go to your order summary section. You can view and download your license details directly from your dashboard at any time.
What if I order the wrong CAL type or server version?
If you purchase the wrong server version or need to switch between User and Device CALs, you can exchange eligible unactivated licenses from your account dashboard within 60 days of purchase. Go to your order summary, choose the correct product, and pay any applicable price difference. Once the exchange is completed, the original license key is permanently blacklisted to prevent unauthorized use.
Can these CALs be transferred to a different server?
Yes. These RDS CALs can be moved to another server when you replace or upgrade your server hardware. To remain compliant, the original server must be fully decommissioned or wiped before the licenses are activated on the new deployment.
Downgrade rights

Choose the right RDS CAL version for your server

Higher-version RDS CALs can be used with the same Windows Server version and earlier supported versions. This is useful when your business is managing mixed RDS deployments, older servers, or a future upgrade path.
Version rule Newer RDS CAL versions can cover earlier supported versions. Older CALs do not cover newer Windows Server versions.
