Ready to Unlock Your Server for the Whole Team?
Unlock the full potential of your server with Windows Server RDS CALs License (Remote Desktop Services Client Access Licenses). This is an essential add-on for any business in the Philippines that needs to provide secure, remote access to a graphical desktop or centralized applications hosted on a Windows Server. Each license pack allows 50 users or devices to connect, empowering your remote workforce and streamlining application management.
User CAL vs. Device CAL: Which is Right for You?
Choosing the right Client Access License (CAL) model is crucial for cost-effectiveness and compliance. Here’s a simple guide with real-world scenarios to help you decide.
User CALs (License the Person)
- The Rule: One User CAL covers one person, allowing them to access the server from an unlimited number of devices.
- Real-World Scenario: A sales manager, Joey, uses his office desktop, a personal laptop at home, a tablet during client meetings, and his phone while traveling. Because the company has assigned his one User CAL, he is fully licensed to access the server from all four of his devices.
- Choose this if: Your employees need roaming access and use multiple devices to connect to the network (e.g., remote workers, mobile sales staff, executives).
Device CALs (License the Machine)
- The Rule: One Device CAL covers one device, allowing an unlimited number of people to access the server from that single device.
- Real-World Scenario: A warehouse has a shared computer at its dispatch station that is used by employees on three different 8-hour shifts. Because that computer has one Device CAL, the single device is licensed for all three shift workers (and any future workers) who use it.
- Choose this if: You have multiple users who share a single device, such as in a call center, a 24/7 nurses’ station, a library computer lab, or on a factory floor.

We particularly needed this license to be able to attach around 16 device terminals. We were skeptical at first because anything Microsoft has always been pricey. The license was surprisingly genuine and we were able to save a lot.
