The Microsoft Windows Server 2025 Remote Desktop Services (RDS) 1 Device Client Access License (CAL) (CSP Perpetual) is a licensing option that grants a specific device the right to access Remote Desktop Services on a Windows Server 2025 system. This CAL is tied to the device itself, rather than the user, meaning that any user who accesses the server from that device is covered by the license. It provides a perpetual, or one-time purchase, licensing model under the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program, which is designed for customers who wish to manage their RDS licenses through a CSP partner.
This license is typically ideal for organizations where a shared or fixed set of devices, such as desktops or workstations, are used to access Remote Desktop Services. Once the 1 Device CAL is assigned to a specific device, that device can access the server’s remote desktop functionality indefinitely, without requiring additional renewals or recurring payments. The perpetual nature of the license ensures long-term use with no need for ongoing subscription costs.
The RDS 1 Device CAL allows the licensed device to connect to the Windows Server 2025 system for purposes such as running applications, accessing the server’s graphical desktop interface, and leveraging other RDS features like RemoteApp. This licensing model is suited for environments where multiple users may share a single device, such as in call centers, manufacturing facilities, or kiosks, where access to remote desktop services is required from a fixed set of devices.
The CSP model offers additional flexibility in managing the license through a Cloud Solution Provider, enabling easier procurement, management, and support for businesses that prefer to manage their licensing through a third-party vendor rather than directly from Microsoft. This option ensures compliance with Microsoft’s licensing requirements while providing a scalable, long-term solution for businesses needing remote desktop access on specific devices.
