Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS) have emerged as a crucial element of business networks as the technological world moves toward the cloud, containerization, and virtualization.
When it comes to setting up hosted apps and desktop networks, RDS is frequently the first option for many enterprises due to its ubiquity and inclusion in the Windows Server operating system.
The previous name of RDS was Terminal Services. Businesses can host materials and centrally and securely disseminate them to distant devices. Checking licenses and policies is necessary while configuring RDS environments. In this aspect, the Remote Desktop License Server is an essential component.
What is Remote Desktop Licence?
All client devices must have a Remote Desktop Service Client Access License (RDS CAL) to access server resources. The server determines if the client needs an RDS CAL when the client devices connect to it via the RDP protocol.
The RD licensing service installs and maintains these CALs on the RD license server. There needs to be at least one RD license server in the network, regardless of the size of your RDS deployment.
The license service and RDSH can both be located on the same server for small networks. Large deployments, however, necessitate their installation on distinct servers.
