User/Device CAL Tracking ID check

Question

How can i check the User/Device CAL tracking ID ? I'm not talking about RDS CAL. On the CAL Document there is a tracking ID, how can I check that Tracking ID to see if is genuine?

Answer 1

There is no licensing enforcement with windows Cals. The CALs operate on a trust model. Just keep the paperwork on hand in case of an Audit.

Answer 2

Hello

Thank you for your question and reaching out.

In Remote Desktop Licensing Manager right-click the license server, click Create Report, and then click CAL Usage.

The report is created and a message appears to confirm that the report was successfully created. Click OK to close the message.

To check CAL Tracking number you can user Microsoft Clearinghouse :

I'm not talking about RDS CAL, I'm talking about User CAL certificate with Tracking ID.

How do I check Tracking ID on the User CAL Sticker?
