Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop Services | User & Device CALs
Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop Services (RDS): is a robust platform that enables organizations to deliver secure and efficient remote access to applications and desktops. It offers a comprehensive set of features, including session-based virtualization, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), and remote application delivery. With RDS in Windows Server 2012, businesses can centralize application management, simplify IT administration, and provide a seamless experience to remote users. Key components like Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH), Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway), and Remote Desktop Web Access (RD Web Access) facilitate secure connections, while enhancements in Windows Server 2012, such as improved graphics capabilities, enhance the end-user experience. This version also introduced the option of licensing by user or device, offering flexibility to meet various licensing needs. Windows Server 2012 RDS remains a reliable solution for enabling remote work and collaboration while maintaining control and security.
Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop Services (RDS) offers two primary types of Client Access Licenses (CALs) to facilitate remote access and usage of RDS resources:
User CAL (Client Access License): A User CAL is assigned to a specific user and allows that user to access RDS resources from multiple devices. With a User CAL, the user can log in to RDS from various devices such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones. User CALs provide flexibility for users who need to access RDS from different devices.
Device CAL (Client Access License): A Device CAL is assigned to a specific device (e.g., a computer or thin client). Any user who accesses RDS resources from that particular device is covered under the Device CAL. Device CALs are suitable for shared workstations or scenarios where multiple users share a single device to access RDS resources.

Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop Services CAL Installation and Activation
To install and activate Remote Desktop Services Client Access Licenses (RDS CALs) on Windows Server 2012, you'll need to follow these steps:
1. Purchase RDS CALs:
First, you need to acquire the required number and type of RDS CALs (User CALs or Device CALs) based on your organization's needs.
These CALs can be obtained from a Microsoft Licensing Partner or Reseller like us: HalfRain eStore or directly from Microsoft.
2. Install RDS License Server Role:
Open Server Manager on your Windows Server 2012 machine.
Click on "Add roles and features."
Choose "Remote Desktop Services Installation."
Select "Remote Desktop Licensing" and complete the installation process.
3. Configure the RDS License Server:
After installing the RDS License Server role, open the Remote Desktop Licensing Manager from the Tools menu in Server Manager.
Right-click on the server name in the Licensing Manager and choose "Activate Server."
Follow the activation wizard to complete the activation process, which typically involves contacting Microsoft's licensing servers and providing the necessary information.
4. Install RDS CALs:
In the Remote Desktop Licensing Manager, right-click on the server name and choose "Install Licenses."
Follow the License Wizard to install the purchased RDS CALs.
Enter the license key or product key provided when you purchased the CALs.
5. Configure Licensing Mode:
In the Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration (accessible from the Remote Desktop Services section in Server Manager), set the licensing mode to match your CAL type (User CALs or Device CALs). Ensure that this matches the CALs you've installed.
6. Reboot the Server (if necessary):
In some cases, you may need to restart the server or services for the licensing changes to take effect.
7. Monitor and Manage RDS CALs:
Regularly check the Remote Desktop Licensing Manager to ensure that your CALs are correctly installed, and you have enough licenses to cover all users or devices accessing your RDS infrastructure.
Remember to adhere to Microsoft's licensing terms and make sure you have the appropriate number of RDS CALs to cover all users or devices accessing your RDS infrastructure. Failure to do so can result in licensing violations.
Please note that the process might slightly vary depending on your specific network configuration and licensing requirements, so consulting Microsoft's official documentation or a Microsoft licensing expert for the most up-to-date guidance is recommended.
