Windows Remote Desktop Server 2016 Licensing and Activation

Activated Remote Desktop Licensing (RD Licensing) servers let users connect to the RD Session Host servers hosting the tenant's desktops and apps. Tenant environments usually come with the RD Licensing server already installed, but for hosted environments you'll have to configure the server in per-user mode.

The service provider needs enough RDS Subscriber Access Licenses (SALs) to cover all authorized unique (not concurrent) users that sign in to the service each month. Service providers can purchase Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Services directly, and can purchase SALs through the Microsoft Service Provider Licensing Agreement (SPLA) program. Customers looking for a hosted desktop solution must purchase the complete hosted solution (Azure and RDS) from the service provider.

Small tenants can reduce costs by combining the file server and RD Licensing components onto a single virtual machine. To provide higher service availability, tenants can deploy two RD License server virtual machines in the same availability set. All RD servers in the tenant's environment are associated with both RD License servers to keep users able to connect to new sessions even if one of the servers goes down.

It's essential to comply with Microsoft's licensing terms and make sure you have a sufficient number of RDS CALs to cover all users or devices accessing your RDS infrastructure. Failing to do so can result in licensing violations.

Please note that the process may vary slightly depending on your specific network setup and licensing requirements, so it's advisable to consult Microsoft's official documentation or seek guidance from a Microsoft licensing expert if you encounter any issues during the installation and activation of RDS CALs.
