Well as others stated here i was a bit concerned due to it being hp branded rds cals but they worked perfectly fine.
Even activated over the internet so i didn t have to call in.
For example a windows server 2016 rds license server can host licenses from all previous versions of rds while a windows server 2012 r2 rds license server can only host licenses up to windows server 2012 r2.
Each user or device accessing a licensed windows server requires a windows server cal or a windows server and a remote desktop services rds cal.
With the user cal you purchase a cal for every user who accesses the server to use services such as file storage or printing regardless of the number of devices they use for that access.
You must specify the name of a license server for the rd session host server to use by using remote desktop session host configuration snap in.
In windows server 2008 r2 click start administrative tools remote desktop services remote desktop licensing manager.
Used them for a windows 2008 r2 remote desktop server.
In windows 2008 r2 automatic license server discovery is no longer supported for rd session host servers.
