One question I often hear is what CAL types can be used with what OS versions of Remote Desktop Licensing Server and Remote Desktop host server.<\/p>\n

Background information:<\/p>\n

Windows Server 2016 RD Licensing article \"Jump\" <\/a>
\nWindows Server 2012 R2 licensing document \"Jump\" <\/a>
\nWindows Server 2008R2 How To Install CALs article \"Jump\" <\/a>
\nHow to control issuance of RDS CALs \"Jump\" <\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The following matrix shows which TS CAL\u2019s and RDS CAL\u2019s can be entered on different versions of the TS and RD Licensing Server:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
