RDS USER CAL PRICING WINDOWS
Why would i need windows users CALs? i'm using SQL Server now with 14 users without any issue or needing those CALs. or i'll be forced to wait for 52–89 days period mentioned? say i used all 20% of revoking devices in a lifetime and i got to a point where a device needs a replacement because its broke, when will i'll be able to use the revoke option after wearing out the 20%. but doesn't say the period which i can use the 20%. we only use the server for hosting and sql server.Īlso i read in microsoft docs above that i can revoke 20% of device licenses. and re required above and beyond Server CALs.įor Server CALs i dont think i need those because i have the server in AWS and i dont use any file sharing or printer sharing. Server CALs allow access to anything on the Server, like file shares or printers. If there are 14 users you need 14 CALs.ģ) Yes. If you are in Workgroup mode you need Device CALsĢ) Concurrent use has nothing to do with CAL counts and never has. Regular User or Device CALs are required in addition to the RDS User or RDS Device CALs."ġ) You need AD for User CALs. RDS CALS are required for users or devices that want to utilize Remote Desktop Service functionality on Windows Server. There is a third type of CAL that we must talk about, Remote Desktop Service (RDS) CALs. If you authenticate against a windows server in any way, either by using its on internal user database or via say SQL Express, my SQL, you need Windows User CALs or Windows Device CALs No I beg to differ, by user CALs I mean Windows User CALs. In example 2 you would either need 14 User CALs or 10 Device CALs, not both. In example 1 you would need 14 User CALs and nothing else. You will need 14 user CALS and 10 RDS Device CALS If you have 14 users that access the server from 10 devices

You will need 14 user CALS and 20 RDS Device CALS

If you have 14 users that access the server from 20 devices ( say 6 of them connect to it from their work PC and from their personal home PC)
