Buy your access licenses for Remote Desktop Services (RDS) from Microsoft now. This enables remote access to desktops - e.g. for support by IT staff, for teamwork or for cross-location meetings. RDS CALs are also the official successor to the classic Terminal Server CALs. At licensix you get your licenses at a top price - with fast, digital delivery by e-mail.
Remote Desktop Services are a proven Microsoft technology to enable secure, regulated remote access to desktops and server-based sessions in the network. Instead of ad-hoc access without clear licensing, RDS CALs provide you with a clean, traceable basis - in line with your own infrastructure.
The following situation is not uncommon in companies: you want to present content from a different desktop at a different location - in real time and ideally in dialog. At the same time, IT teams often need access to remote systems in order to resolve problems, provide assistance or carry out checks. RDS are also a powerful addition in meetings or when team members need to consult with each other.
Fast access to user desktops or server sessions - without being tied to a specific location.
Centralized working environments, same database, reliable access rules.
View and understand content together and coordinate processes efficiently.
Regulated access to VDI technologies and virtualized sessions in the network.
By purchasing Microsoft Windows Server Remote Desktop CAL licensing, you receive regulated access to Remote Desktop Services - either with regard to a device (Device CAL) or a user (User CAL). The User CAL is linked to a user, regardless of the device used. Device CALs are linked to a device, regardless of its user.
Which solution is ideal for you depends largely on your infrastructure and the planned deployment. In any case, Microsoft offers you flexible licensing - and at licensix you will find suitable RDS CALs for different server generations.
RDS CALs should match the Windows server generation used. Below you will find a quick guide to which of the linked CALs is typically used in which context.
Note: In mixed environments, licensing should always be based on the server version or RDS role used. If you are unsure, we recommend briefly checking the Windows server version in use and then selecting the appropriate user or device CAL.
Typically choose User CALs if employees access from multiple end devices (office, home office, laptop).
Typically choose Device CALs if several people work on a small number of devices (e.g. workshop, production).
Windows Server 2022/2025 is usually relevant for current infrastructures - depending on your server version.
If older servers are still running productively, you will need the appropriate CALs for your environment (e.g. 2008).
Thanks to regulated, secure access to other desktops in the network, you get maximum flexibility - and benefit from Microsoft standards in administration and security. Order the desired number of RDS CALs from licensix and receive your license data quickly and digitally by e-mail and in your customer account. This means that nothing stands in the way of you working across geographical distances in the future.
