A Remote Desktop Services (RDS) Device Client Access License (CAL) is needed for a few key reasons:
 
Access Control:
An RDS Device CAL allows a specific device to connect to the server. This is handy in places where multiple people use the same device, like in a shared office or a computer lab.
Cost Efficiency:
If you have more users than devices, a Device CAL can be more cost-effective. Instead of buying a license for each user, you just need one for each device.
Compliance:
Microsoft requires that every device or user accessing the server via Remote Desktop Services has a corresponding CAL. This keeps you in line with licensing rules and avoids any legal issues.
Flexibility:
Device CALs are great for environments where devices are shared among multiple users. It ensures that each device is properly licensed, no matter who is using it.
Simplified Management:
Managing Device CALs can be easier because you only need to track the number of devices, not individual users. This can make administration simpler and more straightforward.
 
So, in essence, RDS Device CALs help you manage access, stay compliant, save money, and simplify your licensing process.
