Are they in the same workgroup if yes then there should be no problem at all. If they are not in the same workgroup then also you can install and activate the RDS license server it will issue temp cals
You might be better off replicating to the remote site. Though you may need another Windows license for this, it should prevent issues with CALs. If you use Hyper-V to host your RDS VM, it's free and in my opinion easy. VMWare (I Think) has a paid option to replicate.
