RDS User CALs are licensed per user — ideal when a user accesses Remote Desktop Services from multiple devices. RDS Device CALs are licensed per device — better suited for shared kiosk devices used by multiple staff members. Choose based on whichever count is lower in your environment. Can RDS CALs be transferred between servers? Yes. RDS CALs can be transferred between licence servers after the 90-day cooling-off period as per Microsoft Volume Licensing rules. The CALs remain tied to the Windows Server version they were issued for. Do I need Windows Server 2016 CALs as well as RDS CALs? Yes. Remote Desktop Services (RDS) CALs only cover the Remote Desktop Session Host component. Each user or device connecting to Windows Server 2016 also requires a separate Windows Server 2016 Client Access Licence (CAL). Both are required for full licence compliance.
