MICROSOFT REMOTE DESKTOP SERVICES 2016 - 5 PACK DEVICE CAL

5 Pack - Device CALs for Remote Desktop Services to Windows Server 2016 buy used

To use the Remote Desktop Services (RDS) of Windows Server 2016, a corresponding RDS Client Access License (RDS CAL) is required for each user to be able to access the Windows programs etc. in the company network locally and independently. A conventional CAL for Windows Server does not cover these rights. One possibility are Device CALs for Remote Desktop Services, which regulate the access for a specific registered end device (Device) for a Remote Desktop session. RDS Device 2016 CALs as used software from Wiresoft have the advantage of a lower price compared to RDS CALs from traditional license providers, they offer the same functionalities as the client access licenses for Remote Desktop Services defined in the official Microsoft Volume Licensing Program for a Windows Server.

What are the benefits of RDS CALs for Windows Server 2016?

Remote Desktop Services - referred to as Terminal Services in previous versions - is a dedicated server role for users who use services, etc., from Windows Server 2016 or other server versions without the respective Windows programs installed on the local machine. CALs for RDS 2016 regulate this access, they are provided to the licensed end device via the corresponding Windows Server as host in the context of a remote desktop session. Any user using a PC or laptop, etc., which has a corresponding client access license - i.e. an RDS Device CAL - can use it via this locally independently (remotely), but also at the company network location via an Internet connection.

Benefits of Remote Desktop Service Device CALs to Windows Server 2016 for Users

Any user using a registered device with an RDS Device CAL for Windows Server 2016 can use it to access a standardized Windows work environment for each session. During a remote desktop session, Windows programs are run through the host on the corresponding server; this is done separately from other client connections, so that a user sees only his or her own session.

With the RDS Device CAL 2016, users can also use older end devices whose hardware or performance is weaker, as they use the power of the Windows server via Remote Desktop Services; Remote Desktop Service CALs 2016 for end devices thus make the provision of more powerful hardware unnecessary.

Benefits of RDS CALs to Windows Server 2016 for Administrators

In addition to the benefits of RDS Device (and User) CALs 2016 for users, they also offer many practical features for administrators, as they make managing all users much more efficient: Windows software can thus be centrally deployed and managed in a corporate network instead of installing it on each individual end device. This is done solely via the Windows server on which it is deployed and also, if necessary, updated with updates.

The RDS Device CALs also define the respective rights for the licensed end device, so that authorized users can only access the server via them with the corresponding access options. The effort for maintenance and provisioning of workstations is thus significantly reduced with the RDS Device CALs for Windows Server 2016.

Technical information about the Remote Desktop Service Device CALs for Windows Server 2016

The deployment or use of RDS Device CALs for remote connections to a Windows Server involves various functions. In addition, the compatibility of CAL and server must also be taken into account.

Server roles of Remote Desktop Services

Device (as well as User) CALs for the RDS of Windows Server 2016 contain several roles, which together allow the use of Windows programs etc. for a licensed end device or user:

• The Remote Desktop Licensing Manager is used to manage the use of or provide the RDS for endpoints with Device CAL for the server.
• For each session, the Remote Desktop session host manages the desktops or programs that are made available to an endpoint (or user).
• The Remote Desktop Connection Broker provides the RDS connection for a session and, in the event of an interruption during a session, restores it.
• The Remote Desktop Gateway is used in a public network to control access via the end device to a Windows desktop.
• TheWeb Access for Remote Desktop Services provides access for specific users or groups via RDS CAL through a web portal.

Version Compatibility of Remote Desktop Service Device CALs for Windows Server 2016

Each RDS CAL - whether for an enddevice or for a user - must be compatible with the version of Windows Server that is used to connect to it. For RDS-CALs for Windows Server 2016, this means that they can be used to access Windows Server 2016 OR an older version of Windows Server (downgrade). However, an RDS-CAL 2016 cannot be used to access a higher version of Windows Server. This requires a corresponding CAL version of Remote Desktop Services.

Comparison of Device CALs vs. User CALs for Remote Desktop Services of Windows Server 2016

Basically, as already indicated, the implementation of a particular Microsoft Server software such as version 2016 is separate from its actual use - this always requires one of the two corresponding client access licenses. The access rights for the use of Windows Server are regulated by Microsoft in its own licensing system, which is based on the Client Access Licenses or CALs.

In addition to the conventional access licenses for a Windows Server, Device or User CALs are also required for Remote Desktop Services in order to also have locally independent - remote - access to the Windows Server via the Web. The RDS CAL system not only offers server administrators differentiated management of access rights, but it also means additional security, since foreign users or unregistered end devices cannot access the available server services or data without this access license (RDS Device CAL).

Microsoft offers two different types of CALs for Windows Server 2016 Remote Desktop Services:

• Device CAL for RDS: this gives access rights to a specific end device (PC, Laptop, Table, Mobile)
• User CAL for RDS: this equips a specific user with access rights

Typical features of a Device CAL for Remote Desktop Services 2016

The RDS Device CAL is only valid for a single, dedicated end device that is registered for it. The device CAL for Remote Desktop Services is used to control its access rights to the Windows server or host for each Remote Desktop session. Any employee using the PC, laptop, etc. equipped with the RDS Device CAL is eligible for Remote Desktop Services for Windows Server 2016. For laptops, tablets or other mobile devices, which can be used regardless of location, the RDS Device CAL offers the advantage that the respective user has the option to make use of the RDS at the company location, on the road or in the home office.

When a connection is first established between the client computer and the terminal device, a temporary access license is issued for each device in licensing mode. When a remote desktop session connects to a server as a host for the second time, a permanent Device RDS CAL is issued for the device - provided one is available from the Remote Desktop Licensing Manager.

All features of RDS Device CALs for Windows Server 2016 at a glance

• The Device CAL is always physically assigned to a specific endpoint - instead of a specific user
• Each RDS Device CAL is tracked by the respective license server,
• independent of the registration in the Active Directory
• Temporary RDS CALs for end devices are valid between 52 and 89 days
• The number of Device CALs specified in each case cannot be overused

Conclusion

From the foregoing, the answer to the question of which type of Remote Desktops Service CAL offers more benefits in a company depends on the individual case. The decision on which form of RDS client access licensing to use must be made prior to purchase, because it is not possible to retroactively convert a Device CAL into a User CAL or vice versa. When purchasing RDS Device CALs, the number of employees and workstations plays a role: As soon as several employees share an end device or work predominantly stationary, then the Device CAL for RDS offers the greater advantage.
