Hi Guys,

How can we calculate RDS user CAL licenses for below use case for password safe.

One PAM user (requestor) is having concurrent 3 applications with one functional account.

Do we required 3 RDS CAL licenses or 1 RDS CAL license ?

 

 

 

 

Hello ​@AmilaK 

That depends on your RDS license type. If your using per user or per device.

Per User
Each user needs a license to connect to an RD Session Host from any device.

Per Device
Each device that accesses RDS needs a license, 

If using per user that would be each unique user starting a session would require a license. If using  functional accounts it would be the number of unique Functional Accounts you have configured to launch applications. If no functional account is specified and managed accounts are used,  each unique managed account used to launch sessions would require a license.

If using per device licensing it would be the total number of Password Safe appliances or resource brokers for PS Cloud that would each need a client access license.
