What does the Remote Desktop 2022 CAL provide?

The Remote Desktop 2022 CAL licenses interactive remote access via Remote Desktop Services to a Windows Server 2022. It thus authorizes every licensed user or device to access centrally deployed Windows desktops and applications via RDS—from any end device, regardless of location.

Important: The Remote Desktop 2022 CAL complements the Windows Server 2022 CAL—both CAL types are required for RDS access. Anyone accessing Windows Server 2022 via RDS requires both a Windows Server 2022 CAL and a Remote Desktop 2022 CAL.

The Remote Desktop 2022 CAL is fully backward-compatible and grants RDS access to Windows Server 2022 and all earlier versions. For companies that are still running Windows Server 2019 or 2016 today and plan to upgrade to Windows Server 2022 in the foreseeable future, purchasing Remote Desktop 2022 CALs today is already the more future-proof decision.

User CAL or Device CAL – which is the right choice?

Remote Desktop 2022 CALs are available in two variants:

Remote Desktop 2022 User CAL – Bound to a specific person. A user with a User CAL can access the Windows Server via RDS from any number of devices—from a desktop PC in the office to a laptop in a home office to a tablet while on the go. User CALs are the right choice for companies with mobile employees, home office workstations, or users who access RDS from multiple devices. If the number of people is fewer than the number of devices used, User CALs are the more cost-effective choice.

Remote Desktop 2022 Device CAL – Bound to a specific device. A device with a Device CAL can be used by any number of users to access RDS. Device CALs are the right choice for shift-based workstations, shared terminals, and production environments. If the number of devices is fewer than the number of users accessing them, Device CALs are the more cost-effective choice.
