Windows Server 2016 RDS 50 Device CAL is a license pack for Remote Desktop Services that allows 50 devices to legally use Remote Desktop on Windows Server 2016. RDS CALs are required IN ADDITION TO standard CAL licenses — every user or device connecting through Remote Desktop needs both a CAL and an RDS CAL. Buying the 50 RDS CAL pack from Licensier means a cheap price and excellent value — you save significantly compared to Microsoft retail pricing while ensuring full license compliance for your remote access infrastructure.
What is an RDS CAL?
RDS Client Access License — the key to legal access
An RDS CAL (Remote Desktop Services Client Access License) is a special Microsoft license required for legal use of Remote Desktop Services on Windows Server. It is an additional license — on top of the standard CAL. A Device CAL is assigned to a device, which means any number of users can use that device. RDS CALs are essential in any environment where employees connect to a server through Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) — remote work, access to server-based applications, virtual desktops (VDI), or thin-client terminals.

Frequently asked questions
What is an RDS Device CAL?
An RDS Device CAL (Remote Desktop Services Client Access License) is a Microsoft license that authorizes a device to legally access Remote Desktop Services on a Windows Server 2016 server. A Device CAL is assigned to the device, which means any number of users can use that device. Without the required number of CAL licenses, using the server breaches Microsoft licensing terms.
What is the difference between a User CAL and a Device CAL?
A User CAL is assigned to a user, allowing that user to connect to the server from any number of devices. A Device CAL is assigned to a device, allowing any number of users to use that device. User CAL is better for mobile employees. Device CAL is better for shared workstations and shift-based environments.
Is an RDS CAL enough on its own?
No. An RDS CAL is an additional license required IN ADDITION TO the standard Windows Server CAL. Every user or device connecting through Remote Desktop needs both: (1) a standard Windows Server 2016 CAL and (2) a Windows Server 2016 RDS CAL. Both licenses are required for full licensing compliance.
What is Remote Desktop Services used for?
RDS (Remote Desktop Services) is a Microsoft technology that allows users to connect to a server remotely and use its resources as if they were sitting directly in front of it. Typical use cases include remote work, virtual desktops (VDI), publishing server applications for users, thin-client terminals in businesses, and centralized IT management.
Do RDS CAL 2016 licenses work with newer servers?
RDS CAL licenses for Windows Server 2016 are backward compatible — they work with Windows Server 2016 and earlier versions. They are not compatible with newer server versions. If you are planning a server upgrade, you should include the cost of new CAL licenses that match the target server version.
What happens if I do not have the required CAL licenses?
Using Windows Server without the required number of RDS CAL licenses is a breach of Microsoft licensing terms. During an audit, this may result in financial penalties, the need to purchase missing licenses at full list price, and potential legal issues. Microsoft license audits are becoming more frequent, so it is worth securing compliance in advance.
Can I transfer a Device CAL to another device?
Yes, a Device CAL can be transferred to another device, but not more often than once every 90 days. The exception is hardware failure — in that case, the transfer can be made immediately. The update only requires changing the assignment in the license management tool.
Are the licenses original?
Yes, all licenses from Licensier are original Microsoft products with official activation keys. Every purchase is documented with a VAT invoice, providing additional proof of legality in the event of a license audit. The keys are verified through Microsoft licensing systems.
