The Windows Server 2022 RDS User CAL (Client Access License) is the official licensing solution that authorises individual users to access Remote Desktop Services on a Windows Server 2022 host from any device they own. Whether your team works from the office, from home, or across multiple devices, a single User CAL covers that person completely — making it the most flexible and cost-efficient choice for growing businesses and IT environments.

Available in packs of 5, 10, 20, and 50 CALs, you receive an instantly delivered, genuine Microsoft product key with lifetime validity — backed by WinCDKey’s official Microsoft Partner status.

What Is an RDS User CAL?

Remote Desktop Services (RDS) lets users log into a centralised Windows Server environment to run applications, access files, and work securely from any location. Microsoft requires a Client Access License (CAL) for every user or device that connects to an RDS-enabled server — without it, your deployment is unlicensed and non-compliant.

A User CAL is tied to a named individual, allowing that person to connect from an unlimited number of devices (laptop, desktop, tablet, phone). This contrasts with a Device CAL, which is tied to a specific machine regardless of how many people use it. User CALs are typically the right choice when employees use multiple devices or work remotely.

  • Scalable packs — start with 5 CALs for a small team and scale up to 50 CALs (or more by purchasing multiple packs) as your headcount grows.
  • Advanced Server 2022 security — take full advantage of Windows Server 2022’s Secured-core server features, AES-256 SMB encryption, and hardware-rooted security for every remote session.
  • Seamless integration — these CALs integrate directly with your existing Windows Server 2022 Standard or Windows Server 2022 Datacenter installation without requiring infrastructure changes.
  • Lifetime licence, zero ongoing costs — unlike subscription-based alternatives, your RDS CALs never expire and carry no recurring fees.
  • Instant delivery — your product key is emailed within 1–2 minutes of checkout so you can deploy without delay.
