## Windows Server 2025 CAL 25 RDS Device CAL – Compliance-Ready Licensing for Terminal Services

Windows Server 2025 CAL 25 RDS Device CAL is a digital license that grants 25 devices the right to access Windows Server 2025 Remote Desktop Services (RDS). This CAL type is device-based, meaning each device (not user) requires a license, simplifying management in environments with shared workstations or shift workers. The license is delivered digitally with clear activation instructions, and Lizensa provides support for installation and activation questions.

Designed for organizations that need to license RDS access in a compliant, cost-effective manner, this CAL is part of Microsoft’s Client Access License framework. It is also applicable for other Microsoft server products like Exchange, SharePoint, or SQL Server when used with Windows Server 2025. Lizensa ensures EU-first delivery, transparent pricing, and no hidden fees.

- **Device-based licensing**: Each physical or virtual device accessing RDS requires one CAL. Ideal for environments with multiple users per device, such as call centers, labs, or manufacturing floors. - **25-device pack**: Covers up to 25 devices in a single purchase. Scalable for growing teams; additional CALs can be added as needed. - **Digital delivery**: License key and activation instructions are sent via email and accessible in your Lizensa account. No physical media, no shipping delays. - **EU compliance**: Lizensa provides VAT invoices and ensures licensing terms align with EU regulations. Suitable for businesses of all sizes. - **Lizensa support**: Get help with installation, activation, and license management. Our team understands Microsoft licensing nuances. - **Multi-product compatibility**: Works with Windows Server 2025 RDS, Exchange Server, SharePoint Server, and SQL Server (when used with Windows Server CAL).

## Who It's For

This license is built for IT administrators and procurement managers in small to medium businesses, enterprises, and public sector organizations. It suits environments where devices are shared, such as schools, hospitals, or customer service centers. Managed service providers (MSPs) managing multiple client networks will also find device CALs easier to track than user CALs. If you need to license RDS access for a fixed number of workstations without per-user tracking, this is your solution.
