Microsoft Remote Desktop Services 2025 Device CAL
Description
Microsoft Remote Desktop Services 2025 Device CAL: the future-proof licence for shared workstations
The RDS 2025 Device CAL licenses a device rather than a person. This is cost-effective when several employees share one PC, for example when working shifts, in a warehouse or at a checkout. It applies to Remote Desktop servers running Windows Server 2025, 2022, 2019 and 2016; the licence server requires Windows Server 2025.
What is an RDS Device CAL and when is it ideal?
The "Device Client Access Licence" (Device CAL) is the perfect choice when several employees use the same device.
- One device, many users: License one computer and let all employees who use that PC access the server – ideal for shift work and computers on factory floors, in libraries or in call centres.
- Cost savings on shared hardware: If there are more users than devices, licensing per device is often significantly cheaper than licensing each individual employee.
- Full access: Lets you use session-based desktops (terminal server) and run centrally provided RemoteApp applications from the licensed device.
Flexible licence packs for your infrastructure
To make licensing your infrastructure easier, we offer this Device CAL not only individually but also in convenient packs for 5, 10, 25 or 50 devices.
If your employees use many different devices (e.g. PC, laptop, tablet), the user-based Remote Desktop Services 2025 User CAL is the more flexible and suitable choice.

Important licensing notice
Please note that an RDS CAL is an additional licence. To use Remote Desktop Services legally, you also need:
- A valid licence for Windows Server 2025 (e.g. Standard or Datacenter).
- Standard Windows Server 2025 CALs (User or Device) for general server access.
Frequently asked questions
We have a computer in logistics that is used by 4 employees in shifts. What do we need?
In this scenario, the Device CAL is perfect. You need exactly 1x "Microsoft Remote Desktop Services 2025 Device CAL", which you assign to that one computer, plus 1x "Standard Windows Server 2025 Device CAL". This is more cost-effective than buying several User CALs.
How does the system assign a licence to a device?
The assignment is handled by the Remote Desktop Licensing Manager on your Windows Server. When a device that is not yet licensed connects for the first time, the licence server issues it a temporary licence. This is later converted into a permanent RDS Device CAL and tied to the device's hardware ID.
Are these CALs compatible with Windows Server 2022?
Yes, RDS CALs are backward compatible. With an RDS 2025 Device CAL, you can access a server running Windows Server 2025, 2022 or 2019.
Is the licence valid indefinitely?
Yes, it is a perpetual licence that does not expire and incurs no recurring costs.
How does this differ from a User CAL?
A Device CAL is tied to a device, which can then be used by any number of users. A User CAL is tied to a user, who can then access the server from any number of devices. Rule of thumb: if there are more users than devices, the Device CAL is cheaper.
