Microsoft Remote Desktop Services 2016 User CAL: The licence for flexible application access

Give your employees secure, flexible access to central desktops and applications with a Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS) 2016 User CAL. This access licence is the official entitlement for one specific user to use the terminal server features of your Windows Server 2016. It is the foundation of a modern IT infrastructure that supports home working and mobile working. Buy your official perpetual licence from Vollversion-Software and unlock the full potential of your server environment.

What is an RDS User CAL and how does it work?

This licence is assigned to a fixed user account and gives that user maximum flexibility – ideal for modern, agile ways of working.

  • One user, unlimited devices: Once licensed, an employee can access the central server environment from their office PC, home office laptop, a tablet or any other device.
  • Perfect for flexible staff: The best choice for field staff or employees who regularly switch between different devices.
  • Full functionality: Provides access to full, session-based desktops and specifically published individual applications (RemoteApp).

Flexible licence packs for businesses of every size

To make licensing easier for your team, we offer this User CAL not only individually but also in scalable packs for 5, 10, 25 or 50 users.

For scenarios where several employees share one computer (e.g. shift work), the device-based Remote Desktop Services 2016 Device CAL is the more cost-effective alternative.

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 2016 (e.g. Standard or Datacenter).
  2. Standard Windows Server 2016 CALs (User or Device) for general server access.

Frequently asked questions

We have 12 employees working from home. What do we need for remote access?

You need 12 x "Microsoft Remote Desktop Services 2016 User CAL". The best option is to buy one 10-pack and two single licences. Each of these 12 employees must also have a Standard Windows Server 2016 User CAL.

How does this differ from a Device CAL?

A User CAL licenses one person, who may then access the server from any number of devices. A Device CAL licenses one device, which may then be used by any number of people. The User CAL is more flexible for mobile staff, while the Device CAL is often cheaper for businesses operating shifts.

Where on the server are these licences installed?

RDS CALs are managed through the server's licensing system. You need to install the "Remote Desktop Licensing" role on a server in your network. Then enter the licence keys you received from us in "Remote Desktop Licensing Manager" to activate the licence pool.

Can I also use a 2016 CAL to access Windows Server 2019?

No. The CAL version must always be the same as the server version or newer. A 2016 CAL allows access to Server 2016 or 2012 R2, but not to Server 2019 or 2022.

Is the licence valid indefinitely?

Yes, it is a perpetual licence that does not expire and has no recurring costs.
