The difference between RDS CALs for Windows Server 2012 (R1/R2) for devices and users

Remote Desktop Services Client Access Licenses (RDS) for Windows Server 2012 (R1/R2) are available for both devices and users. The main difference between the two is how they are allocated and used.

RDS Device CALs are assigned to a specific device, such as a desktop or laptop computer. This means that any user who logs in on that device can access Remote Desktop Services on the server. This is a good option for organizations where multiple users share the same device, such as in a call center or shared workstation environment.

RDS User CALs, on the other hand, are assigned to a specific user account. This means that the user can access Remote Desktop Services from any device, as long as they are logged in with their assigned user account. This is a good option for organizations where users have their own devices, such as in a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) environment.

It is important to note that RDS CALs are required for each user or device accessing Remote Desktop Services on the server. Without the correct CALs, users or devices will not be able to connect to the server.
