Windows Server RDS User CALs (50 Connections)

Scale Your Remote Workforce with Windows Server RDS User CALs

If your business relies on employees accessing the central server from home, branch offices, or on the road, standard server licensing is not enough. You need genuine Windows Server RDS User CALs (Client Access Licenses). These specialized licenses integrate directly into your Remote Desktop Licensing Manager, allowing multiple users to establish concurrent remote desktop sessions on your host server.

By purchasing a block of Windows Server RDS User CALs from DimeDigitals, you are saving hundreds of dollars compared to traditional corporate licensing. Whether you are scaling up a new 2025 deployment or maintaining a legacy 2012 environment, we have the exact connections you need.

Crucial Guide: User CALs vs. Device CALs

Before purchasing your Windows Server RDS User CALs, it is extremely important to understand the difference between User and Device licensing. This listing is specifically for User CALs.

When to choose a User CAL (This Product)

A User CAL is assigned to a specific person in your Active Directory. That person can log into the server from any device—their office PC, their home laptop, their iPad, or even their smartphone.
Best For: Companies with employees who work remotely, travel, or use multiple devices to access the network.

When to choose a Device CAL (Different Product)

A Device CAL is permanently assigned to a specific physical piece of hardware, regardless of who is using it.
Best For: Shift-work environments (like a hospital or call center) where multiple different employees log into the same physical computer station throughout the day.

Version Compatibility & Rules

When selecting your year from the dropdown menu, please keep Microsoft’s strict downgrade rights and compatibility rules in mind:

• Forward Compatibility: A newer CAL can access an older server. (For example, a 2025 CAL can be used to access a 2019 Server).
• Backward Compatibility: An older CAL cannot access a newer server. (For example, a 2016 CAL cannot be used to connect to a 2022 Server).
• Licensing Server: Your RD License Server must be running an operating system that is equal to or newer than the Windows Server RDS User CALs you are installing.
