Windows Server 2019 RDS Device CAL is a licensing model designed for organizations that provide remote
access to server applications or desktop environments through specific devices.
This type of license is particularly suitable for environments where a single device is used by multiple users,
such as shared offices, manufacturing facilities, school classrooms, or public sector workplaces.
In corporate and institutional environments, proper configuration of Device CAL licenses plays an important
role in access planning, security, and audit readiness. Device-based licensing enables IT departments
to efficiently manage access in scenarios where users rotate on the same workstations or terminals.
Main benefits of the RDS Device CAL license:
Optimal for shared workstations – multiple users can use a single device
with one access license.
Simplified device management – licensing at the device level reduces the need to manage
individual licenses for each user.
Licensing compliance – helps maintain a clear and auditable configuration of access rights
in accordance with internal and external requirements.
Stable operation – suitable for environments with fixed workstations and
a stable infrastructure.
Suitable for enterprise and institutional environments – designed for organizations that
prioritize security, access control, and structured IT infrastructure management.
Windows Server 2019 RDS Device CAL is an ideal solution for organizations operating shared
workstations or terminal environments that require lawful, secure, and clearly managed
remote access to server resources while maintaining full control over licensing compliance.
