5x Device CALs for Remote Desktop Services to Windows Server 2019 as used software

In order to use the Remote Desktop Services (RDS) of Windows servers, each user needs a Client Access License (CAL), which allows him to access the Windows programs in a corporate network - including the files - and locally independently. For this there are 5x Device CALs for the Remote Desktop Services , over which these five registered terminals (device) for a remote desktop session are made available. The RDS Device CALs as used software of Wiresoft represent here an inexpensive alternative to conventional license providers, because they offer the same functionality as the CALs in the official Microsoft volume license program.

What are the advantages of RDS CALs for Windows Server 2019?

The Remote Desktop Services - formerly called Terminal Services - represent a dedicated server role in Windows Server 2019 or its older versions. RDS regulate access to the Windows-programs available via the respective Windows Server as host, via a remote desktop session. User those who have a corresponding client access license - in this case, for example, an RDS Device CAL - can then use it with the PC, laptop or similar equipped with it in a corporate network or locally independently (remotely) via an Internet connection.

In addition to the benefits they have with Device (and User) CALs for users, the Windows Remote -Desktop services also offer many benefits for administrators, as they make administration much more efficient: Software can be deployed centrally in an enterprise environment and thus does not have to be installed individually on each end device. Instead, it is made available at a single storage location - the Server - and also updated if necessary.

Access by users authorized via RDS CAL is also controlled in this way, because specific rights can also be assigned to each user. The overall effort for maintenance and provisioning of workstations is thus significantly reduced by RDS CALs for Windows Server .

What are the advantages of Remote Desktop Service Device CALs for users?

Users equipped with an RDS Device CAL for Windows Server 2019 will thus benefit from a standardized Windows work environment, no matter from which location they access it with their registered end device - and no matter which User uses the Remote Desktop Services on the PC, laptop, tablet, etc. in question.

If the authorized end device accesses a particular program via the Device CAL during a remote desktop session with the host, it will run on the Server, regardless of other client connections. The user will only see its own session.

If older devices have weaker performance or hardware, they can use the power of the Windows server with the Remote Desktop Services , so the cost of deploying newer hardware is also reduced.

Version compatibility for Remote Desktop Service CALs for Windows Server

A Device CAL for a device equipped with access rights (or a User CAL) must always be compatible with the current Windows Server version, otherwise it will not be possible to establish a Remote connection for a session. A 2019 RDS Device CAL can thus access Windows Server 2019 or even an older server version such as 2016 (downgrade) - but not possible higher server versions in the future.

Comparison of Device CALs vs. User CALs for Remote Desktop Services from Windows Server 2019

Basically: The implementation of a Microsoft Server software is always independent of its actual use - for this a corresponding access license is required. Microsoft regulates these access rights for the use of a Windows server via its own license system, this is based on the Client Access Licenses or abbreviated CALs. As already described above, CALs for Remote Desktop Services ensure that also locally independently only the employees authorized over it have access to the Windows Server . Apart from the options of the Server-administrators for the differentiated administration of the access rights the RDS CAL-system also means an additional security, since strange User and/or not registered terminals without access license (Device CAL) do not have access to the Services or data available over it.

Microsoft provides two different types of CALs for the Remote Desktop Services of Windows Server 2019:

• Device CAL for RDS, when a single end device (PC, Laptop, Table, Mobile) is granted access rights
• User CAL for RDS, when a specific user is granted access rights

The Device CAL applies in principle exclusively to a single, dedicated end device that is registered accordingly. The devices CAL for Remote Desktop Services regulates its access rights to a Windows Server or host for each Remote Desktop session. Each employee who is allowed or able to use the PC, laptop, etc. in question,  can then make use of the Remote Desktop Services . In the case of laptops, tablets or mobile devices, which can be used regardless of location, the respective User is free to choose whether to use the RDS at the company location, on the road or at Home-Office.

In licensing mode Pro terminal device, when a connection is first established between the client computer, the terminal device is granted a temporary access license for it. Once this connection is established for the second time with a Server as host for remote desktop sessions, a permanent Device RDS-CAL is issued for it - provided one is available.
