LADP Windows Server 2019 CAL Require?

Hi All,

I would like to confirm that for Windows Server Standard 2019, if I have some users only accessing the server for user authorization via LADP for an application and no other server resources will be used. Do I need to buy CAL for every of the user? Thank you for the advise.

Hi,
The general requirement is, any User or Device that accesses the server software, either directly or indirectly, requires a CAL.
But you don't need purchase CAL for each user/computer adding to AD and you only need appropriate amout of CALs for your users or devices to use Active Directory legally.
For your reference:
Client Access Licenses and Management Licenses

If you need a definite answer, you'd better find yourself a good Microsoft Reseller who is willing to do a complementary license audit. Usually they will do this with the notion that you will purchase any missing licenses through them to become compliant.
Hope above information can help you.
