MS server 2019 core and CAL license can be used in two sites?

HI, we have a branch office in India and Japan,
we intend to add one ad dc 8 core server at each location. both will be interconnected via vpn.
Is the single 16 core license will be ok to be used on both locations? or do we need to purchase separate licences for each location?
and we intend to use 30 user CAL, whether this also will have to be purchased for each location or single location?
current vendors do not have a clear answer, can anyone help?
we are having a very limited budget.

Each will need to have its own windows server license. As to Cals; a Windows Server CAL is a license that grants access Windows Server. CALs are used in conjunction with Microsoft Windows Server OS licenses to allow Users and/or Devices to access and utilize the services of that windows server
- User CALs allow a single user access to Windows Server from an unlimited number of devices
- Device CALs allow an unlimited number of users to access Windows Server from a single device
