Windows 10: RDS License Server User Cal Licensing model and Remote Desktop GPO

I have a License Server with 75 user cals for RDS installed. I have an OU in AD with the servers I want to serve licenses to created and a GPO created and linked to that OU. However, a single user group is in AD that the GPO provides remote access via Terminal Services to. While this setup does work in terms of granting remote access to users within the linked group, to all the servers in the linked OU, I need more granularity and want to create multiple groups that can have remote access to select servers while some super-users can have access to all servers, but I want all servers to get RDS

RDS Licensing

We have an environment with 20+ Remote Desktop Services host servers and one RDS licensing server installed. If we want to provide remote desktop access to 1000 users, should we procure the required CAL licenses using a per user or per device licensing model?

RDS CAL downgrade rights under Volume Licensing

Hi,

Good day everyone!

I would just like to inquire where can I seek assistance for my inquiry regarding RDS CAL, if it has downgrade rights since it is under Volume Licensing?

This is an inquiry from our Partner since they are proposing RDS CAL 2019 licenses but the
existing License Server is Windows 2012 R2 (upon checking the aforementioned Windows Server version and RDS CAL version is not compatible)



We always offer the latest version in the VLSC portal, but we’d like to know if RDS CAL has downgrade rights under Volume Licensing?



I apologize if I am sending this on the wrong window, I just tried posting this here to be here.

Appreciate any suggestions/email response for this matter. Thank you very much!

Best Regards,
