What is  Remote Desktop Services?

RDS, short for “remote desktop services,” refers to the feature that lets users utilize Windows programs and visual desktops remotely. Using the proper client access licenses, desktop networks may be managed centrally (CALs). Additionally, the 2016 device licenses may be combined with any possible Windows Server 2012 Core licenses that are already in existence. This offers an organization’s IT department more time to upgrade to the most recent server operating system. Future updates will be installed faster thanks to the “Express Updates” capability.

Do I need a Client Access License?

Each user and device that connects to a Remote Desktop Session host need a client access license (CAL). Installing, issuing, and tracking RDS CALs all require an RDS licensing server. The RD Session Host server decides if an RDS CAL is required when a user or device connects to it.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN USER CAL AND DEVICE CAL
