Windows Server 2025 RDS Device CAL

Windows Server 2025 Device CAL for RDS – Compliant Licensing for EU Businesses

Windows Server 2025 CAL 1 rds device cal is a Client Access License (CAL) that grants one device the right to access Windows Server 2025 Remote Desktop Services (RDS). This license is essential for organizations that need to comply with Microsoft licensing terms while enabling remote desktop access for shared workstations. Lizensa provides this CAL as a digital license with clear activation instructions, ensuring your EU business stays compliant without unnecessary overhead.

This device CAL covers one physical or virtual device, regardless of the number of users accessing the server from that device. It is designed for environments where multiple users share a single device, such as shift workers, lab computers, or kiosks. The license is delivered digitally via email and your Lizensa account, with step-by-step guidance for activation. Lizensa support is available for installation and activation questions.

• Device-based licensing: Each CAL covers one device, allowing unlimited users on that device to access RDS. Ideal for shared workstations.
• RDS-specific: This CAL is required for Remote Desktop Services access on Windows Server 2025. Not for general server access (use User CAL or Core CAL instead).
• Digital delivery: Receive your license key and activation instructions immediately after purchase. No physical media shipped.
• EU-compliant: Lizensa provides VAT invoices and operates under EU regulations. Suitable for private and business use where terms allow.
• Scalable: Purchase additional device CALs as your organization grows. Manage all licenses in your Lizensa account.
• Lizensa support: Our team helps with installation and activation questions. We focus on smooth deployment.
