Microsoft Remote Desktop Services 2008 R2 Device CAL: The cost-effective licence for shared workstations

License your shared workstations for central server access with a Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS) 2008 R2 Device CAL. This Client Access License is not software, but an official access entitlement tied to one physical device (e.g. a PC, thin client or workshop computer). Once licensed, an unlimited number of employees can use that one device to access your Windows Server 2008 R2 environment. Buy your official perpetual licence from Vollversion-Software and put the ideal solution in place for shift-based operations and shared hardware.

What is an RDS Device CAL and when is it the best choice?

The Device CAL is the right choice whenever more employees than computers need to access the terminal server.

  • One device, unlimited users: License one computer and give every employee who uses that PC during the day full access, without having to buy a separate licence for each person.
  • Ideal for shift work & hot desking: Perfect for call centres, production halls, hospitals, libraries and other environments where employees share hardware.
  • Full access: Allows use of full desktops (terminal server) and centrally hosted individual applications (RemoteApp) from the licensed device.

Flexible licence packs for your infrastructure

We make licensing simple. Buy this Device CAL individually or in convenient bundles for 5, 10, 25 or 50 devices to match your requirements exactly.

If your employees use personal devices instead and need to work flexibly from anywhere, the user-based Remote Desktop Services User CAL is the better choice.

Important licensing information

Please note that an RDS CAL is an additional licence. To use Remote Desktop Services legally, you also need:

  1. A valid licence for Windows Server 2008 R2 (e.g. Standard or Enterprise).
  2. Standard Windows Server 2008 R2 CALs (User or Device) for general server access.

Frequently asked questions

One PC in the warehouse is used by 4 employees. How many Device CALs do I need?

You only need one RDS 2008 R2 Device CAL, which you assign to this PC. This is the most cost-effective option for this scenario.

How does this differ from a User CAL?

A Device CAL is tied to one device, which can then be used by any number of users. A User CAL is tied to one user, who can then access the server from any number of devices. As a rule of thumb: if there are more users than devices, the Device CAL is cheaper.

Can the licences be transferred if we replace a PC?

Yes, RDS Device CALs are not permanently tied to one piece of hardware. In the Remote Desktop Licensing Manager you can revoke the licence from an old, retired device and assign it to a new one.

Can we access Windows Server 2016 with 2008 R2 Device CALs?

No, that is not possible. CALs are not forward compatible. To access Windows Server 2016, you must have RDS 2016 CALs (or newer).

How do I activate the licence?

You activate the licence centrally on your server in "Remote Desktop Licensing Manager", rather than on the client device. Enter the product key you received from us there to increase your pool of available licences.
