Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop Services 2022, User CAL, RDS CAL, Client Access License

If you want to access Windows Server 2022 from the outside, you need a so-called Remote Desktop Service CAL, which is abbreviated as RDS CAL. This is a fixed part of the Microsoft licensing model that allows external access. With a Remote Desktop 2022 User CAL, it is possible to access the Windows Server Standard 16/24 Core or the Windows Server 2022 Datacenter 16/24. As with the Windows Server 2022 Standard User CAL, access is bound to a user, not to the device used. This makes it best suited for users who regularly work on a specific endpoint device and thus need to access the server directly or indirectly.
