Windows Server 2016 Remote Desktop Services || RDS CAL
Windows Server 2016 Remote Desktop Services (RDS): is a pivotal technology that enables businesses to efficiently deliver applications and desktops to remote users, providing flexibility and productivity gains. One of its notable features is the ability to virtualize individual applications using RemoteApp, making it feel as though these applications are locally installed on users' devices. Moreover, Windows Server 2016 RDS incorporates advanced security measures such as Credential Guard and Remote Credential Guard to protect against credential theft and enhance the security of remote sessions.
With support for GPU acceleration and improved support for multimedia applications, it caters to a wide range of use cases, from knowledge workers to graphic-intensive applications. Its scalability and load balancing capabilities make it suitable for organizations of all sizes. Windows Server 2016 RDS remains a robust solution for modern work environments, promoting secure and efficient remote access and application delivery.
Windows Server 2016 Remote Desktop Services (RDS) offers two main types of Client Access Licenses (CALs) to enable remote access and usage of RDS resources:
User CAL (Client Access License): A User CAL is assigned to a specific user and allows that user to access RDS resources from any device. With a User CAL, the user can log in to RDS from multiple devices, including personal computers, laptops, tablets, or smartphones. User CALs are often preferred when users need flexible access from different devices.
Device CAL (Client Access License): A Device CAL, on the other hand, is assigned to a specific device (e.g., a computer or thin client). Any user who accesses RDS resources from that particular device is covered under the Device CAL. Device CALs are suitable when multiple users share a single device to access RDS, such as in kiosk or shared workstation scenarios.

Windows Server 2016 Remote Desktop Services CAL Installation and Activation
Installing and activating Remote Desktop Services Client Access Licenses (RDS CALs) on Windows Server 2016 involves several steps. RDS CALs are necessary to ensure legal access to your RDS infrastructure. Here's a step-by-step guide:
1. Purchase RDS CALs:
First, you must acquire the appropriate number and type of RDS CALs (User CALs or Device CALs) based on your organization's needs.
These CALs can be purchased from a Microsoft Licensing Partner or Reseller like us: HalfRain eStore or directly from Microsoft.
2. Install RDS License Server Role:
Open Server Manager on your Windows Server 2016 machine.
Click on "Add roles and features."
Choose "Remote Desktop Services Installation."
Select "Remote Desktop Licensing" and complete the installation process.
3. Configure the RDS License Server:
After installing the RDS License Server role, open the Remote Desktop Licensing Manager from the Tools menu in Server Manager.
Right-click on the server name in the Licensing Manager and choose "Activate Server."
Follow the activation wizard to complete the activation process, which may involve contacting Microsoft's licensing servers and providing the necessary information.
4. Install RDS CALs:
In the Remote Desktop Licensing Manager, right-click on the server name and choose "Install Licenses."
Follow the License Wizard to install the purchased RDS CALs.
Enter the license key or product key provided when you purchased the CALs.
5. Configure Licensing Mode:
In the Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration (accessible from the Remote Desktop Services section in Server Manager), set the licensing mode to match your CAL type (User CALs or Device CALs). Ensure that this matches the CALs you've installed.
6. Reboot the Server (if necessary):
In some cases, you may need to restart the server or services for the licensing changes to take effect.
7. Monitor and Manage RDS CALs:
Regularly monitor the Remote Desktop Licensing Manager to ensure that your CALs are correctly installed, and you have enough licenses to accommodate your users or devices.
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.
