Buy Remote Desktop 2025 CAL – RDS CAL for Windows Server 2025 at a low price as a license

Anyone running Windows Server 2025 as a Remote Desktop Server needs a Remote Desktop Services CAL for each user or device that accesses the server via Remote Desktop Services. The Remote Desktop 2025 CAL is the latest and most future-proof RDS CAL version—it grants RDS access to Windows Server 2025 and all older versions of Windows Server. At Lizenzindustrie, you’ll receive your CALs immediately via email—verified, legally compliant, and at a price significantly below the official list price.

What does the Remote Desktop 2025 CAL provide?

The Remote Desktop 2025 CAL licenses interactive remote access via Remote Desktop Services to a Windows Server 2025. 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 2025 CAL does not replace the Windows Server 2025 CAL—both CAL types are required for RDS access. The Windows Server CAL licenses general server access, while the RDS CAL licenses specific remote access via Remote Desktop Services.

A key advantage of the Remote Desktop 2025 CAL is its full backward compatibility. It not only grants RDS access to Windows Server 2025, but also to Windows Server 2022, 2019, 2016, and all earlier versions. Anyone who purchases Remote Desktop 2025 CALs today is already licensed for future server upgrades.

User CAL or Device CAL – Which Is the Right Choice?

Remote Desktop 2025 CALs are available in two versions:

Remote Desktop 2025 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 users is fewer than the number of devices used, User CALs are the more cost-effective choice.

Remote Desktop 2025 Device CAL – Bound to a specific device. A device with a Device CAL may be used by any number of users to access RDS. Device CALs are the right choice for shift workstations, shared terminals, and production environments. If the number of devices is fewer than the number of users accessing the system, Device CALs are the more cost-effective choice.

Remote Desktop 2025 CAL – Compatibility with Other Windows Server Versions

The Remote Desktop 2025 CAL is fully backward-compatible and grants RDS access to:

• ✔ Windows Server 2025
• ✔ Windows Server 2022
• ✔ Windows Server 2019
• ✔ Windows Server 2016
• ✔ Windows Server 2012 R2 and earlier versions

This makes the Remote Desktop 2025 CAL the most future-proof investment for all companies that operate or plan to operate remote desktop infrastructures.
