RDS CAL on 2019 Essential
Hello everyone, I have a question regarding licensing requirements. I want to install Windows Server (it doesn't matter which version), to be used as a "remote desktop" for my users. I have ...
Forum Discussion
Remote Administration mode should only be used by administrators who need to perform administrative actions on the server appliance. If you are having regular users connect to the RDS environment to do their day-to-day job you should not use Remote Administration Mode, instead buy RDS cals.
Thanks Dave Patrick
So i will need :
1- Windows Server Standard license
2- 5 CAL for users
3- 5 RDS CALs
Is this right? or i don't need the users' CALs
You're welcome. Legal licensing questions are better directed towards your reseller's trained licensing specialist or ask microsoft directly. Any anonymous forums replies (including my own) are opinions at best and in no way legally binding.
