According the Azure policy, https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/pricing/licensing-faq/, Windows Server does not need CAL licenses for a Virtual Machine running in Azure. Each time I start Windows 2012, a notification appears saying the days I have to configure the RDP license. RDP is working now because of 120 days of grace period, but I am afraid that finally, RDP will stop to work.
Am I confused? Do I need to acquire a CAL? Or do I need to configure something?
UPDATE:
I am using RDP to provide access to multiple users to some applications.

I'm not sure what the licensing requirements are but the only way you would get that message is if you've enabled remote desktop services. You do not need to enable remote desktop services to use an administrative remote desktop. I would think (since Azure offers remoteapp) that there would be some type of additional license for RDS in windows server.
