## FAQ

**What is the difference between a User CAL and a Device CAL?** A User CAL licenses one user to access the server from any device. A Device CAL licenses one device to be used by any number of users. Choose Device CALs when multiple users share the same workstation (e.g., shift work). Choose User CALs when each user has multiple devices (e.g., laptop and phone).

**Is this license valid for Windows Server 2025 Standard or Datacenter?** Yes, this RDS Device CAL is edition-agnostic within Windows Server 2025. It works with both Standard and Datacenter editions. However, ensure your server has the RDS role enabled and the appropriate number of CALs for all connecting devices.
