Windows server CALs
What is the difference between a Terminal Services CAL and other CALs? I was under the impression that ALL CALs were for terminal services. What other place would you use CALs?

Incorrect. You need a windows CAL and an RDS CAL for rdp. RDS CALs are "additive" and don't replace th need for a windows CAL.
Don't need rdp cals for remote administration.... Â Multiple rdp clients serving different clients then yes...

So if I purchased the attached item, what am I getting? Is this just a license for 5 people to use the server as a file server?

That is one possible example, yes. But to appropriately license your server, define its workloads first THEN work with a licensing specialist. Don't buy CALs then try to figure out what you can do with them. That's a bit backwards.
