Remote access on Windows Server 2016: everything you need is sent by email

The Windows Server 2016 RDS User CAL does not generate any files to be run on the client: it is the licence type that grants a named user the right to open Remote Desktop Services sessions on Windows Server 2016, regardless of the device used to connect. Purchasing from Mr Key Shop results in a product key being sent via email, ready to be registered on the RDS licence server. No configuration is required on the user’s device: the server manages the allocation and tracking of available licences.

RDS Licence Server and Remote Desktop role: what to prepare before registration

To register RDS User CALs, the Remote Desktop Services role must be active on Windows Server 2016 and the Remote Desktop Licence Server component must have been activated via the Licence Manager, either online or by telephone through Microsoft. The licence server can co-exist with the server providing RDS services or be installed on a dedicated host accessible from the infrastructure. Only once the licence server has been activated will the CAL installation wizard be able to complete the registration. Windows Server 2016 includes a 120-day grace period during which RDS sessions operate without registered CALs, which is useful for completing configuration in new environments or during migration.

Registering User CALs in Licence Manager: product key and named assignment

In the Remote Desktop Licence Manager on Windows Server 2016, launch the licence installation wizard, select the User CAL type and the licence programme corresponding to your purchase, then enter the product key received from Mr Key Shop. The wizard registers the CALs online and immediately updates the pool of covered users. The assignment is named: the licence is linked to the user’s account upon their first RDS connection and remains assigned until manually reassigned by the administrator, with no automatic expiry dates. File the product key in your company’s compliance documentation for any audit checks.

Frequently Asked Questions about Microsoft Windows Server 2016 RDS User CAL

  • What is a Windows Server 2016 RDS User CAL?
    An RDS User CAL is a Remote Desktop Services access licence that authorises a named user to establish remote sessions on Windows Server 2016, including full desktop access, application streaming via RemoteApp, or web access via RD Web Access. The distinctive feature of the User variant is that the licence follows the individual: a user with an RDS User CAL can connect to the server from a PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone using a single licence, without each device requiring a separate licence.
  • What is the difference between an RDS User CAL and an RDS Device CAL for Windows Server 2016?

  • Do the RDS User CALs for 2016 also cover earlier versions of Windows Server?
    Yes. For backwards compatibility, an RDS User CAL for Windows Server 2016 authorises RDS sessions even on servers running earlier versions of the operating system, such as Windows Server 2012 and 2008. The reverse is not true: CALs issued for earlier versions do not cover access to Windows Server 2016.
  • What happens when the 120-day grace period expires without any CALs having been registered?
    At the end of the 120 days, the RDS server blocks new connections from users without an assigned CAL. Sessions that are already active may be terminated, depending on the configuration. You must register the CALs in the Licence Manager before the expiry date to ensure business continuity. The grace period is not renewable: once it has expired, the only way to restore access is to register the necessary licences.
  • Does the RDS User CAL also include the standard CAL for access to Windows Server services?
    No. These are two distinct licence types. The standard CAL authorises general access to server services, files, printing, directories and applications, but does not include the right to open remote desktop sessions via RDS. The RDS User CAL is in addition to the standard CAL and specifically enables Remote Desktop Services sessions. For an RDS-compliant environment, each user must have both.
  • When should you NOT choose a Windows Server 2016 RDS User CAL?

    If access to the server is via fixed workstations shared amongst multiple users working in shifts – such as warehouse terminals, service counters or reception desks – the RDS Device CAL optimises the cost per workstation rather than per person. If the server has already been upgraded to Windows Server 2019 or 2022, the RDS CALs must match the version in use: a 2016 CAL does not cover access to later versions. Finally, as Windows Server 2016 is approaching the end of its extended support in January 2027 and the organisation has not yet planned its migration, now is the time to consider upgrading the infrastructure alongside licence renewal.
