What is a Device CAL for Windows Server 2022 RDS?

Windows Server 2022 is a powerful and feature-laden server operating system. However, to utilize all the features and benefits of the operating system, Client Access Licenses are essential.

Device CALs allow the licensed device to:

Access server-based apps
Connect to session-based or VM-based desktops
Use RDS services to obtain remote and secure access to the server

As the name suggests, Device CALs allow organizations to license individual devices. This makes them the perfect option for organizations where individuals often share devices to access the server. This could be because of shift patterns or “hot desk” working practices.

Once you purchase a Device CAL, the license is assigned to a single device that can then be used by any user without the need for any further licensing.

Device CAL vs. User CAL – Which is best for your organization?

When choosing Client Access Licenses for your organization, there are two types of licenses to consider:

Device CAL – As the name suggests, this license is allocated to a single device and will allow full access to Windows Server 2022 features for the lifetime of the device. This is perfect for scenarios where devices are often shared between users.

User CAL – The User CAL is assigned to a single user and allows the license holder to connect to the network from any device and/or location. This makes it a better choice for organizations where users are more likely to connect from multiple devices.

If you need any help selecting the right type of license for your organization, then we can help. Contact us for advice or click add to cart to obtain your Device CAL for Windows Server 2022.
