Microsoft Server 2019 RDS (USER) 50 CALS

Microsoft Server 2019 Remote Desktop Services (RDS) 50 User Client Access Licenses (CALs) are licenses required for each user who will access the services provided by a Windows Server 2019 RDS deployment. These CALs allow users to connect to the server via Remote Desktop and use its features.

Here’s a breakdown of the components:

1. Remote Desktop Services (RDS):

RDS is a set of technologies that enables users to access Windows desktops and applications remotely. With Server 2019, RDS allows you to run applications on a server while allowing users to access them from any device over a network. RDS can be used for:

• Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH): Allows multiple users to access a virtual desktop session on the server.
• Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI): Provides users with dedicated virtual desktops hosted on the server.
• RemoteApp Programs: Allows individual applications to be published to users rather than full desktops.

2. Client Access License (CAL):

A User CAL is a license that allows a single user to access the server from any device (e.g., a PC, tablet, or smartphone). The 50 User CALs cover up to 50 users, meaning up to 50 individual users can connect to the Remote Desktop Services environment. A User CAL is ideal for environments where employees use multiple devices (workstations, laptops, mobile devices) to connect.

3. Types of CALs:

There are two types of RDS CALs:

• User CALs: These are linked to the user, and the licensed user can access the RDS environment from any device.
• Device CALs: These are linked to the device (workstation, tablet, etc.), and multiple users can use the same device to access the environment.

With 50 User CALs, the organization can have 50 unique users accessing RDS, regardless of the number of devices they use.

4. Installation and Setup:

• Licensing Server: RDS CALs are managed by a License Server. This server issues the appropriate licenses for users or devices connecting to the Remote Desktop Services.
• Activation: After purchasing the CALs, they need to be activated on the license server for the CALs to be used.
• RDS Roles: The CALs will grant access to different roles within RDS, such as the RD Session Host, RD Licensing, and RD Web Access.

5. Usage Scenarios:

• Remote Desktop Sessions: Users with CALs can connect to a virtual desktop session or a full desktop hosted on the server.
• Application Virtualization: Users can access specific applications hosted on the server.
• Remote Access: Users can connect to the RDS environment remotely from virtually anywhere, allowing for greater flexibility in accessing company resources.

6. Licensing Considerations:

• RDS CALs are separate from Windows Server CALs: A Windows Server CAL is required for users to access the server itself, but RDS CALs are needed specifically for access to the Remote Desktop Services.
• RDS CALs are required for every user or device accessing the remote environment, even if they don’t use the full desktop.

7. Benefits of Using 50 User CALs:

• Flexibility: Users can access the server from various devices, which is ideal for mobile workforces.
• Scalability: Additional User CALs can be purchased as the company grows.
• Centralized Management: RDS allows centralized management of desktops and applications, making administration and maintenance easier.

8. Costs:

• User CALs tend to be priced higher than Device CALs, but they provide more flexibility, particularly for businesses with employees who use multiple devices.

If you’re deploying RDS in a medium to large business, 50 User CALs would be a good choice if you have 50 distinct users who need access to the server, particularly if they work across different devices.
