Windows Server 2016 RDS 50 User CALs

Windows Server 2016 RDS 50 User CALs: a pack of 50 Remote Desktop Services client access licenses (RDS CALs) for Windows Server 2016, as User CALs. Each one covers one person, from any device.

Right after your payment is confirmed, we email you a secure link to your license, and your invoice comes with the order. Lifetime warranty on the server where you activate it. Only reveal your license when you are ready to install it.

Good to know: Microsoft’s extended support end date for Windows Server 2016 is January 12, 2027, and Windows Server 2016 receives security updates from Microsoft until then. Check that this date fits your plans, or see Windows Server 2022 and Windows Server 2025.

What is an RDS CAL?

A Remote Desktop Services client access license (RDS CAL) lets a person or a device connect to a Remote Desktop session host running Windows Server. RDS CALs are separate products from Windows Server, sold in packs of 50. Microsoft’s licensing terms say which users and devices need an RDS CAL: check them for your setup.

User CAL or Device CAL?

User CAL Device CAL
Covers One person, from any device One device, whoever uses it
A good fit when Each person has their own devices Several people share the same computers, for example in shifts

Both examples come from Microsoft’s guidance: License Remote Desktop Services with Client Access Licenses (CALs).

Not sure which one fits? Read our comparison RDS User CALs vs Device CALs.

How many packs do you need?

Each pack has 50. Count the people (User CALs) or the devices (Device CALs) that will connect to your session hosts: for example, 120 people need three packs. Buying several packs? Request a quote.

Which Windows Server version does it work with?

An RDS CAL pack works with its own Windows Server version or an earlier one, never a later one.

Windows Server 2025 pack Session hosts running 2025, 2022, 2019 and 2016
Windows Server 2022 pack Session hosts running 2022, 2019 and 2016
Windows Server 2019 pack Session hosts running 2019 and 2016
Windows Server 2016 pack Session hosts running 2016

Questions about RDS CALs

Is the Windows Server 2016 RDS 50 User CALs pack a Windows Server license?

No. RDS CALs are separate products from Windows Server, sold in packs of 50. The Windows Server edition you run them on is a separate product too: see Windows Server license keys.

What is the difference between User CALs and Device CALs?

A User CAL covers one person, from any device. A Device CAL covers one device, whoever uses it.

Do CALs for an earlier Windows Server version work on a later one?

No. A pack works with its own Windows Server version or an earlier one. A Windows Server 2022 pack, for example, works with 2022, 2019 and 2016 session hosts, but not with 2025.

How many packs do I need for 80 people?

Two packs of 50 User CALs cover 100 people. With Device CALs, count the devices that connect instead. Check Microsoft’s licensing terms for your setup.

Not sure how an RDS CAL works in our shop? Read How our licenses work.

  1. On your server, install the Remote Desktop Licensing role (Server Manager > Add Roles and Features).
  2. Open Remote Desktop Licensing Manager and activate the license server.
  3. Choose Install Licenses and enter your license code.

Your license server must run Windows Server 2016 or later.

Microsoft's guide: license your RDS deployment with CALs

No download needed

RDS CALs don't have their own installer: you add them to your server. Install the Remote Desktop Licensing role, activate the license server and install your CALs in Remote Desktop Licensing Manager.

Your license server must run Windows Server 2016 or later.

    My license arrived very quickly, but when I tried activating it I got a message saying the activation server was unavailable. Support replied fast and suggested restarting the program and trying again. After doing that, the activation completed successfully.
