Microsoft office on Server 2012 R2 Standard for remote desktop users

I have 5 users on logging into the server using remote desktop connection and I need to know what version of office works, when I call Microsoft they say I need one license for every device accessing the RDS but it doesn’t make any sense to me, I access my remote session from my iPhone, home computer, laptop and iPad can anyone direct me in the correct direction without having to break bank in the process?

Which Volume License do you recommend? Can you post a link?
If you use Office 365 or want to pay monthly, you need E3 or better (which includes Exchange to host your mail).  If you don't want to deal with Exchange, get Office 365 Pro Plus.

If you want to purchase outright, you only have two options - With Microsoft Access and without (there's other differences too, but to me, that's the major one.  Office 2016 Standard and Office 2016 Professional Plus.  There are no other volume license versions.
