What are Remote Desktop Services?

RDS stands for “remote desktop services,” and it refers to the feature that allows users to access their graphic desktop and Windows apps from a distance. Client access licenses can be used to control desktop networks from a central location (CALs). In addition, any existing Windows Server 2009 Core licenses can be used in conjunction with the new 2016 device licenses. This offers a company’s IT department more time to upgrade to the most recent version of the server operating system. The “Express Updates” feature will also help you save time in the future when installing updates.

Is a Client Access License required?

Each user and device that connects to a Remote Desktop Session host need a client access license (CAL). You’ll need an RDS licensing server to install, issue, and track RDS CALs. When a user or a device connects to an RD Session Host server, the server decides whether or not an RDS CAL is required.
