It will work.  In actuality, what happens is that the CALs you purchase today will be Windows 2019 user cals, but they'll work for any version of RDS up to and including Windows Server 2019.

Choose the highest level there - Windows Server 2012.  If that doesn't work, you may have to call Microsoft.  I haven't run into this issue myself.

ok I want to try tomorow
please after the installed of license.what is the steps on the server 2016 to obtein the Cal users?
I'm not sure I understand your question.  The CALs will be listed in the Licensing Manager and should show up as a separate line for Windows 2019 Remote Desktop Licenses.  If you click on that, it will show a list of licenses that have been assigned (if any) and what user or device has been licensed.  The licenses are assigned as connections are made so at first all you'll see is that no licenses have been used.
