Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop Services (Device Cal) Licensing Requirements   Once the licensing grace period is passed, you must have a license for each connecting user or device to connect to an RD Session Host server. Youll also needs to install an RD Licensing server. You can install the RD Licensing role service on the same server the service isn't very demanding or on a separate server.   Youll need to purchase RDS Client Access Licenses (CALs) and install them on the RD Licensing server. These RDS CALs are tied to the server, but RDS lets you move them to new hardware if needed. Remember that RDS supports both per-user and per-device licensing. The model you choose should depend on whether you have more users or computers. RDS does not have concurrent-user licensing, and the licenses you choose must match the mode for which you configure the RD Session Host server.   Install the RD Licensing role service just as you did the RD Session Host role service. Then you must:   Activate the RD Licensing server Install RDS CALs so the RD Licensing server can allocate them to users and devices Tell the RD Session Host server to use the RD Licensing server (you must do this even if the two role services are located on the same machine)   You can virtualize an RD Session Host server, but you'll likely see a reduction in the number of simultaneous sessions it can support. Be sure to model on the same machine type (physical or virtual) you intend to use. If you do build a virtual RD Session Host server, you should probably use a server with a processor supporting second-level address translation (SLAT) to reduce the overhead of memory mapping between the physical machine and the VMs. To reduce overhead, its also advisable to use a Type 1 hypervisor like Hyper-V, not a Type 2.   These are the minimum system requirements for installing Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop Services (Device Cal):   Processor: 1.4 GHz Memory: 512 MB Disk Space: 32 GB

Windows Server 2016 Standard 16 Core + 10 RDS CALs   Windows Server 2016 Standard 16 Core + 10 RDS CALs Edition is a cloud-connected first server system that is ideal for small businesses with no more than 25 users and 50 devices. 2016 Essentials is an excellent option for customers currently using the Foundation edition, which is not available with Windows Server 2016. This version of Windows Server 2016 Essentials uses an original equipment installation (OEI).   Features   Some of the new features integrated with Windows Server 2016 Essentials include:   Azure Site Recovery Services   When a virtual machine that is protected from threats stops working, or the host server that it all runs on fails, Azure Site Recovery Services allows users to maintain business continuity until the virtual machine or host server on-premises is repaired and made available. Azure Site Recovery Services, a feature in Microsoft Azure, allows a replication of your virtual machines (VM) to be done in real-time and sends it to a backup vault in Azure. If your server or site goes down due to faulty hardware or another failure, you can fail-over with Azure Site Recovery so that the virtual machine image stored in your backup vault will be provisioned as a running VM in Microsoft Azure. Combined with an Azure Virtual Network, client PCs that previously connected to the server on-premises will connect to the server running in Azure.                   Azure Virtual Network   As organizations transfer their workloads to cloud computing, they seldom move all of their resources all at once. They instead move some resources to the cloud and keep some on the premises. it's much easier to move an organization to the cloud in stages over time. Azure Virtual Network integration provides the network infrastructure that makes that process seamless and manageable. Azure Virtual networking is a service that enables organizations to create a point-to-point (P2P) or site-to-site (S2S) virtual private network that makes resources that are running in Azure (such as virtual machines and storage) look as though they are on the local network for seamless access to applications and resources.   Larger Deployments Support   Some medium-sized businesses need more functionality and capacity to implement Windows Server Essentials. Windows Server 2016 Essentials provides increases in the manageability of domains, users, and devices by adding support for larger deployments with multiple domains and domain controllers as well as the ability to specify a designated domain controller.   These are the minimum requirements for install Windows Server 2016 16 Core + 10 RDS CALs.   Processor: 1.4Ghz 64-bit processor Memory: 512 MB* with (Error Correcting Code type or similar technology) Disk Space: 32 GB
