What is all the Fuss about RDP Licences?

RDP licences and RDP product licenses are an important part of managing remote access and control software. Some remote access software is available for free. Nevertheless, for professional and extensive use, whether in a corporate setting or for Managed Services or SaaS provision, proper licenced software has many advantages. Let us explore licencing for Microsoft and in general, then discuss RDS-Tools licences more specifically.

 

RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol):

RDP is a proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft that allows users to access and control a remote desktop or server. In general, RDP enables remote desktop connections for remote use or for troubleshooting purposes, as well as for a number of derived uses. Microsoft devices can therefore access or be accessed by other devices for any of those purposes, so long as the appropriate configuration is set.

RDP licences -Security, Support and Software Evolution

Intrinsically, RDP for remote access poses some security questions as soon as it is no longer kept by its native walls. Designed to be used within a LAN, RDP is indeed a target for cyber-security attacks on the Internet. If no other argument convinces users, this seems to us the greatest supporter of valid licences.

Whether for Windows RDP or other suppliers, software licences are essential. From licences to CALs, the right licence most often means the right security guarantees for your network. It also means the right service and answers from the purveyors, since fixes, updates, new features and more all depend on a valid software licence.

In practice, Microsoft provides RDP licenses for its Windows operating systems. These licenses are mostly included with Windows Server or Windows Professional editions, where RDP can be activated. They can also be purchased as separate or upgraded licenses for client devices that need to access remote desktops.

To hammer in the nail, compliance and trust will doubtless require correct licencing, so anyone with particular high demands on them on that front need to pay close attention to the status of their licences.
