Answer 1

does not need to be defined "per user" or "per device". They go both Usr / DevCal
In any case, see what you have more, and focus on this figure.
Consider so. For example, 50 users and 40 machines. Total:
1) win2012 license
2) 50 usr/dev win2012 cal
3) 50 rdp cal
Licenses 2)-3) are purchased at a time, regardless of the number of servers.

Answer 2

First you need to decide - licenses "per user" or "per device". If there are more users than devices from which you will work in the terminal (for example, shift work), then you need to take licenses "per device" according to the number of devices. If the opposite is true (for example, each user has a computer and a tablet), then the licenses are "per user" according to the total number of users working in the terminal. According to the received number, you buy RDS CAL - remote desktop licenses. You buy Server CALs no less than RDS CALs. If there are computers from which they do not work in the terminal, but connect to the server (for example, to a disk or printer shared on the server), then they also need Server CALs.
