Question 1

Does it provide an installable license so that it shows up in the remote desktop license?

Accepted Answer

No, these are User CAL's and not RDS CAL's  Your licensing program probably requires that you have purchased both but this product is a documentation-only item and has no install or license key software component at all.

Search for "rds-install-cals" for guidance from Microsoft on your question.
