What is the difference between a User CAL and a Device CAL?

This is a very important distinction. A User CAL licenses a specific, named person, allowing that one person to access the server from any device (their work laptop, home PC, or smartphone). A Device CAL licenses a specific piece of hardware (like a shift-worker terminal or a hospital kiosk), allowing any number of users to access the server from that single licensed machine. This 50-pack is for User CALs.

Do I need a base Windows Server license to use these?

Yes. Client Access Licenses (CALs) are not the actual server operating system. To use windows server 2019 rds cals, you must already have a fully licensed and running instance of Windows Server 2019 (Standard or Datacenter) with the Remote Desktop Services role installed.
