Windows server 2019 standard Remote desktop connection from multiple devices

Hello Everyone,

I currently have Windows Server 2019 Standard edition. I am planning to have multiple devices to connect to this OS through remote desktop and to be able to have individual sessions in each of the devices.

In order to do this I realize that there are additional license to be purchase. Kindly can you let me know what are those licenses and how to activate them?

Thank you!

Hello @DogeBot-8083 ,

Each user and device that connects to a Remote Desktop Session host needs a client access license (CAL). You use RD Licensing to install, issue, and track RDS CALs.
There are two types of RDS CALs: RDS Per Device CALs & RDS Per User CALs.

You need to purchase CALs to license your RDS deployment, Activate the license server and Install RDS CALs on the license server. Please refer to the following document for detailed information:
