Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop Services Cal

Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop Services CAL is part of the flexible licensing system for Windows Server 2012. It will give customers the opportunity to leverage fantastic enhancements that make it the optimal version of RDS, to date, with several areas of innovation to improve the administrative and client experiences.

This Version ” RDS 2012″ brought innovation centered around three areas: Simplify IT management, User experience, and Improved security.

What is Remote Desktop Services?
RDS stands for “remote desktop services” and refers to the functionality enabling users to work with graphic desktop and Windows applications via remote access. Desktop networks can be managed centrally using the appropriate client access licences (CALs). In addition, any potential Windows Server 2009 Core licenses already in existence can be used in combination with the 2012 device licenses. This gives the IT department in a company more time to transition to the latest version of the server operating system. The “Express Updates” function will also help save time installing updates in future.

Do I need a Client Access License?
A client access license (CAL) is needed for each user and device that connects to a Remote Desktop Session host. An RDS licensing server is needed to install, issue, and track RDS CALs. When a user or a device connects to an RD Session Host server, the RD Session Host server determines if an RDS CAL is needed.

Another important rule of Windows Server core-based licensing is that all physical cores of the server must be licensed.
