Hi
If you require more than two simultaneous remote connections, you must purchase a Remote Desktop Services (RDS) license. If you attempt a third connection, an error occurs.
Please see:

Hello,
I would like to inform you that AWS does not sell RDS CAL licenses.
For pricing and purchasing information, I suggest you to contact/ purchase license(s) directly from Microsoft or contact a Microsoft authorized reseller in order to purchase CAL's. You can do so using the links found in the following docs:
Also, prior purchasing CALs, I advise you reading the following Microsoft doc, as it talks about the different CAL types i.e. User or Device CALs:
Example: If there is a device that is going to be used by several people, it would be cheaper to license the device, whereas if the same person is going to access the instance via several devices, it would be better to assign him or her a user CAL.
