Hello,

Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having query\issues related to RDS workgroup Licensing.

If you are using a workgroup server, you must use per-device CALs. For more information, see License your RDS deployment with client access licenses (CALs). "

I would like to share below link which will be helpful l in your case.
