The Difference Between RDS CALs for Devices and for Users in Windows Server 2019
In Windows Server 2019, Remote Desktop Services (RDS) Client Access Licenses (CALs) are available for both devices and users. The main difference between the two is how they are assigned and used.
RDS CALs for Devices
RDS CALs for devices are assigned to a specific device, such as a desktop computer or a tablet. This means that any user who logs in to that device can use the RDS features, regardless of who they are or how many users there are. This is a good option for organizations that have a lot of shared devices, such as call centers or libraries.
RDS CALs for Users
RDS CALs for users are assigned to a specific user, regardless of the device they are using. This means that a user can access RDS features from any device they use to log in, such as a desktop computer, laptop, or mobile device. This is a good option for organizations that have a lot of remote workers or employees who use multiple devices.
Overall, the choice between RDS CALs for devices and for users depends on the needs of your organization. Consider factors such as the number of devices and users, the level of mobility required, and the budget available when making your decision.
