RDS CALs License type for Citrix Hosted Shared Desktop Deployment

[Zulhadi Zainal]

Hi All,

 

I need some query on the RDS CALs license type that I need to use for my current Citrix HSD (multi-session VDI) deployment.

Here my planning of HSD that my citrix environment will be available later (provisioning via MCS method)

 

 

I just want to ask anyone here, if the requirement of session access as per show in the above table, may I know for the RDS licenses type that I need to select/purchase? Is it the per Device CALs or per User CALs if my requirement of HSD as above? I need advise on this matter as I not very familiar with the Microsoft RDS Licensing. Very appreciate any response on this matter. Thanks

You should engage with a Microsoft L.icensing partner to discuss the appropriate licensing model. There are considerations that may be unique to your environment - best to get the full picture based on your organization
