Per User Remote Desktop Licensing

I want to be sure I understand how the per user Remote Desktop licensing works.  Below is my example.

 

I have an Active Directory with 3 Remote Desktop servers and another server acting as the Domain Controller and Remote Desktop License Server.

 

The network is a single domain.

 

All servers use the same Remote Desktop license server.

 

All Remote Desktop licenses are per user.

 

If I have 10 users, do I need 10 Remote Desktop licenses per server or just 10 Remote Desktop licenses?

 

There are 10 specific people on the network.

 

If I understand it correctly only one Remote Desktop license server is needed.

 

All servers use the one Remote Desktop license server.

 

I think only 10 Remote Desktop CALS are needed and NOT 10 Remote Desktop CALS per server.

 

My one CAL would give me the rights to log into any of the 3 Remote Desktop servers I need to access.

 

Is this correct?
