- Thank you for looking into this, LicensingConcierge1
When I log into partner center and then click on "Benefits" and "Software", I can retrieve activation keys for various software that is provided to Microsoft Partners for free. Thats what I mean by "Benefits".
One entry in this list is called "Windows Server 2019 Remote Desktop Services CALs" and I used this key on our 2019 Remote Desktop Server to activate user CALs that are required so users can work on the server via RDP.
I would like to update our RDS server to Windows Server 2022 but cannot do so because the activation key is only for 2019 CALs and does not work on Server 2022.

SimonThank you for clarifying!

LicensingConcierge1I do not want to PURCHASE anything. We get licenses for Windows Server 2022 for free, so it does not make sense that RDS CALs for Server 2022 are not provided for free as well.
My initial question was if that is on purpose or if Microsoft will include free RDS CALs for Server 2022 in partner benefits anytime soon.
