Windows Server 2022 RDS CALs missing in partner benefits
Please note that the original post did not mention that you're asking about "free" RDS CALs:
I have done an extensive search and have not found documentation of "free" licenses for Windows Server 2022.
There is a licensing grace period of 120 Days during which no license server is required. Is this what you mean by "free" licenses?
If so, once the grace period ends, clients must have a valid RDS CAL issued by a license server before they can log on to an RD Session Host server. License your RDS deployment with client access licenses (CALs) | Microsoft Learn
If this 120-day period is not what you're referring to, would you mind letting me know on what basis you've received these "free" licenses please? This way, I am equipped with the required information in the event I need to escalate this issue.

These partner benefits include licenses for Windows Server 2022 but the included RDS CALs are for Server 2019 only.
Since the information that I've provided doesn't seem to answer your question and you're asking about Windows Server RDS CALs, I've moved this post to the Windows Server community so that someone better trained can assist.
