Error "The remote connection was disconnected because there are no Remote Desktop License Servers available to provide a license. Please contact the server administrator"

Hi,
I have been using Windows server 2012 at my company and generally take a remote access to this server. However, since last few days, I have been receiving the Error "The remote connection was disconnected because there are no Remote Desktop License
Servers available to provide a license. Please contact the server administrator". 
My entire work has come to a halt because of this error as all my applications are running this server and their remote access is needed for my regular requirements. 
I had tried one of the solutions proposed at one of these forums especially using gpedit.msc but to no avail. 
Regards,
Aditya

Hi Aditya,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Agree with the words of armin, please verify that you have properly installed correctly. Verify RDS Licensing service running on License Server. Verify that the client, the RDS server, and the license server can communicate by ensuring that Domain Name System
(DNS) is configured correctly on each computer. You can run the ping command from each computer to each computer using the IP address, FQDN, and the NetBIOS name. If any of the ping commands fail, verify the DNS configuration on the network.
In addition, you can also try “GracePeriod” registry setting on this path (HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\RCM) from
this article.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

  • Windows Server 2012 Used: Error Message from Windows 7 PC: Remote session was disconnected because there are no remote desktop license servers available to provide a license. Please contact the server administrator.

    We are using Windows Server 2012 Standard installed in VMWare / Virtual machine and to access this we use vSphere client and Remote Desktop Connection / service was already enabled and was working fine with User PCs / laptops remote desktop into the server
    2012, until it gave an error message of: Remote session was disconnected because there are no remote desktop license servers available to provide a license.  Please contact the server administrator. whilst logging into the server. 
    We DON'T use Active Directory nor and we don't use domain and not looking to use it any-time soon. 
    I checked the RD Licensing Diagnoser and it says the grace period has expired and the licensing mode for the remote desktop session host server is not configured.  I have checked the Remote Desktop Gateway has been stopped and I tried to start it and it
    resumed to stop, here I assume its where the licensing part comes in to re-enabled this. 
    I have been trying to follow these articles online: http://ryanmangansitblog.com/2013/03/27/deploying-remote-desktop-gateway-rds-2012/ and http://www.concurrency.com/blog/rds8-add-a-licensing-server-2/#Install  the overview part that I cannot get into,
    because I think we have to be is AD DS for this which we don't.  Is there a way around this for non domain / just standalone set-up?  Is it a must / requirement we need to be in a domain in order for Remote Desktop Connection to work? 
    Also, we have a Windows Server 2012 RDS CALs - 10 (software and licence key), will the licence key work for the Windows 2012 Server Standard?  We do not want to install the other Server mentioned which comes with CAL / licence key as its time consuming
    to reinstall other programs.  I have installed  Server role service of Remote Desktop Licencing and automatically installed other associated services needed.  in the RD Licencing Manager, the Server had a red cross and I "Activate Server"
    where I followed: http://www.concurrency.com/blog/rds8-add-a-licensing-server-2/#Install in Install Licences section and I have used the licence key of CAL - 10 mentioned above; it stated I have successfully completed the install licences wizard and displayed:
    10 Windows Server 2012 - RDS Per User CAL installed, and in the RD Licensing Manager the server turned into a green tick and added the licence.  
    I then tested the Remote desktop connection from my PC and the same error message was there and checked the RD Licensing Diagnoser and the same error messages was there.  I haven't restart the services of Remote Gateway / the server itself; do I really
    need to reboot server?  
    Any advice / guidance would be very much appreciated and this is a urgent matter.  
    Thank you for your time.

    Hi,
    Please let us know if you have purchased RDS CALs and install it in your RD licensing server.
    Also, on RD Session host servers, please make sure that you have specified the license mode and point them to the RD licensing server.

    Hi,
    I am getting this error from windows server : remote session was disconnected because there are no remote desktop licence servers available to provide a licence. Please contact the server administrator.
    Remote desktop Session Host Server Configuration Details:
    The RD licensing Diagnoser(WIN-909xxxxxxxxxxx):
    Number of license available for clients : 0
    Remote Desktop Session Host server version: Windows server 2012 R2
    Active Directory Domain : Not applicable
    Licensing mode  : Not configured
    Now, Down I am getting this error as well shown by the system:
    RD licensing Diagnoser Information- 2 errors:
     Win-909xxxxxxxxxx : licensing mode for the Remode Desktop Session Host Server is not configured.
     Win-909xxxxxxxxxx : The grace period for the Remote Desktop Session Host server has Expired, but the RD Session Host server has not been configured with any license servers. connections to the RD Session Host server will be denied
    unless a license server is configured for the RD Session Host server.
    Now my kestion is :
    Do I need to buy a license key of the windows server to not getting this error or it may continue appear even if I purchased the license and not configure RDS and AD.
    Do I need to configured only  RDS and AD and buy the license key of windows server later because I still have 55 day of trial.
    Do I just buy the RDS client access license (L).
    Please could you help on this, am new in windows server?

    Hi,
    As the message indicates, the grace period for the Remote Desktop Session Host server has Expired, you need to purchase and install RDS CALs. Also, you need to configure related settings
    to continue using Remote Desktop Services. Otherwise, you cannot connect to the server remotely.

  • Remote session was disconnected because there are no remote desktop license servers available to provide a license. Please contact the server administrator."

    I am the Server Administrator and have server 2012 Standard running on a single computer for our small (50 employee) company.  It's primary role is to house one software application that manages our data.  Our employees need to remotely access this
    server to use this software program.  For the last 4 months we have successfully done that using Remote Desktop.
    Unfortunately our RDS trial period ran out on our Server, and so I have recently installed 21 RDS User CALs on to the server to still be able to access this server remotely.  When I installed them, using the Install Wizard, I selected 'User CALs' as that
    is what they are.  However, when I try to use remote desktop and access the server remotely, I get the message: "remote session was disconnected because there are no remote desktop license servers available to provide a license"
    Do I have to install the RDS User CALs as Device CALs instead even though they are USER CALs?? Did I forget to check a box or something?  Please help!  We are a Non-Profit and really can't afford Microsoft's $260 support fee when I have a feeling
    this has got to be an easy solution.

    Hi,
    1. Did you create an RDS deployment or just install the RD Session Host and RD Licensing Role Services on your server?
    2. If yes to #1, have you set the licensing mode and licensing server name in Server Manager -- RDS -- Overview -- Tasks -- Edit Deployment Properties -- RD Licensing tab?  Did you make your RDSH server part of a collection?  The RDSH server must
    be part of a collection in order for the deployment settings to apply.
    3. If no to #1, then please set the licensing mode/specify the licensing server name via group policy setting.  For example, you could use gpedit.msc and configure the following settings:
    Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Session Host\ Licensing
    Use the specified Remote Desktop licensing servers
    Set the Remote Desktop licensing mode
    Thanks.

  • The remote session was disconnected because there are no Remote Desktop License Servers available to provide a license. Please contact the server administrator.

    I recently installed 21 Remote Desktop Services (RDS) User CALs on my Server 2012 standard computer.  It was an Open License donation from Microsoft as we are a non-profit.  After installing them successfully (I installed them as USER and not DEVICE)
    the warning message that my "remote desktop services will expire in 63 days" message no longer appears :) however, I can no longer connect to our server remotely.  Our staff needs to access a single data management program on a daily basis and
    that program is housed on our server computer.  
    I know that the solution to this is probably easy (like checking a box or installing a component).  Can you please help?  Why would we have been able to access the server remotely before the install of RDS User CALs and not after? 
    Thank you for your time and help in this regard. 

    Hi,
    Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
    First of all the user which you want to provide access for remote session must be member of “Remote Desktop User” local group. 
    In regards to your error it seems that your RDS license server not able to locate the license server properly and licensing mode not configured properly. To resolve this issue you can try to change the Licensing mode or need to call the MS clearing house to
    reactivate the license server in a correct mode. You must have all the license paper and all related document on hand and then call clearing house, explain them your issue and they will help you to reactivate it.
    Please check beneath article for additional details.

  • Hyper-V 2012 R2. RemoteFx. "The remote session was disconnected because there were network problems during the licensing protocol. Please try connecting to the remote computer again."

    After a Installation from Windows 8.1/windows 7 everything works fine. For example  Install updates and Software. If I connect the first time a remotefx card i can use RDP as well. But if i restart the host I get the mentioned error. What can I do. These
    Hosts are not in a domain configuration. I tried it too but there was  no difference. I didn't discovered any errors in the eventlog, too. Only an actviex error. But same errors occurs with a succsefull rdp session.
    Also strange is if i start the vm without a remotefx card it works fine again. Only session with a Remotefx card aren't possible anymore.
    Is there a bug or something. I tried it many times with the same error.
    Maybe someone can help me. 
    kind regards

    Hi Tobi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    For a workaround, please try to perform the two steps.
    1. Do NOT enable RDP 8 on the Windows 7 SP1 VM.  You should install RDP 8 and update the ICs though.
    2. Change the connection setting on the client from "Automatically detect" to "LAN"
    Please check again below thread for information.
    a. "The remote session was disconnected
    because there were network problems during the licensing protocol" after enabling RemoteFX Windows 8 VM
    (Please recheck answer by “dgeddes”)
    b. "The remote session
    was disconnected because there were network problems during the licensing protocol" After Installing RemoteFX
    Hope it helps!

  • Android MS RDP - RPC Error: Your connection was denied because of a Resource Access Policy (TS_RAP). Please contact your server administrator. (2147965402).

    I love iTap Mobile.  Paid for the app.  Sorry to see them discontinue it, but now I know why.  Microsoft bought them out!  But even though free, I am getting an error: RPC Error: Your connection was denied because of a Resource Access
    Policy (TS_RAP). Please contact your server administrator. (2147965402).  I worked with iTap to fix this so I guess they sold Microsoft their older buggy code...  Microsoft, please fix!
    PS: This is the Android version.  Mac and iOS are both okay.
    EDIT:  After an update a few months ago, iOS is no longer working.  Not sure if the problem is related to the Android MSRDP issue.
    UPDATE - Relevant posts (need Android RDP software engineer to fix):
    Event Viewer Log when using Android client:
    The user
    "DOMAIN\testuser", on client computer "10.x.x.x", met connection authorization policy requirements and was therefore authorized to access the RD Gateway server. The following authentication method was used: "NTLM". (This
    is most likely for logging into RD Web - icons shows up).
    The
    user "DOMAIN\testuser", on client computer "10.x.x.x", did not meet resource authorization policy requirements and was therefore not authorized to resource"localhost".
    The following error occurred: "23002".  (This is after clicking on any
    of the icons).
    I
    think the Android MS RDP client is providing the incorrect resource.  It shouldn't be "localhost".
     It should be the RD Connection Broker's hostname, I believe.
    Here's what it should look like (connected using a Windows PC going
    through the RD Web portal via Internet Explorer):
    The user "DOMAIN\testuser", on client computer "10.x.x.x", met connection
    authorization policy requirements and was therefore authorized to access the RD Gateway server. The following authentication method was used: "NTLM".
    The user "DOMAIN\testuser", on client computer "10.x.x.x", met resource
    authorization policy requirements and was therefore authorized to connect to resource "rdsfarm.domain.com".
    The user "DOMAIN\testuser", on client computer "10.x.x.x", connected
    to resource "rdsfarm.domain.com".
    Stephan,
    Do you have any way to contact the software engineer who worked on the Android version of the RDP client?  Please
    have them read this thread.  They need to fix the hard coded "localhost" resource to be a variable (namely whatever the user put in for the server).
    This is why the MS RDP app is failing in situations where the FQDN for the RD Gateway and Connection Broker uses
    the same host name.
    Again, this is not a configuration problem on our end as it works as intended with the native Windows RDP client
    as well as the Mac and iOS version of the mobile RDP client (all based on iTap Mobile's RDP app).
    This is a problem specific to the Android RDP app.
    PS: No matter how hard I try, the WYSIWYG editor is not very WYSIWYG at all, and so everything here looks messed up even though it looked right when I posted it (it is deleting new blank lines I'm inserting to make it spaced out and easier to read). See
    below to read the post in context.

    Thanks for the bumps, everyone.  I haven't check this thread in a while because I basically gave up on Microsoft's ability to respond.  Unlike paid apps, there's no number to call or ticket to open when an app like this malfunctions.
    Just to give you an update, iOS users started having issues connecting a few months ago.  I don't remember what version started this.  I'm not sure if it's the same problem.
    Also, the newest version now gives a slightly different error message:  RpcOverHttpEndpointException: 2, Your connection was denied because of a Resource Access Policy (TS_RAP).  Please contact your server administrator.
    For Android users, I am starting to recommend Xtralogic Remote Desktop Client.  It's a paid app, but it works great.  I don't know of any alternative for iOS.
    MSRDP for Mac OSX (was also an iTap application) continues to work throughout the many updates.
    We need a software engineer from MS to read my first post.  All the information that will point to a fix is there.  I strongly believe someone hardcoded the string "localhost" instead of using a variable to point to the FQDN of the rdsfarm
    name.
    Here's that info again (copied/pasted).  It doesn't take an engineer to understand the issue.  If you know how to decipher Event Logs, you can see where the problem is.

    I researched on internet for this error and found some possible reason like

    So that I checked for permission for login user, but it has administrator rights. and I tried to open workflow by removing custom activity code, but still exist.
    also if I tried to create/update workflow for another site on same server then it works without any problem.

    Hi,
    Attached image shows the error message which i receive when I try to run my vi. "vi loaded with errors on the target and was closed" 
    The vi has no errors as far as I can see and hasn't changed since I ran it a few days ago and it functioned fine. other vi's in the project run without any issue.
    Any guidance to find the issue would be greatly appreciated!

    Some tips:
    1. Try to recompile the VI which is "loaded broken" (ctrl+click on Run arrow). Deploy.
    2. Try to recompile this VI and its dependencies (ctrl+shift+click on Run arrow). Deploy.
    3. Try to recompile top-level VI and its dependencies. Deploy.
    4. Change something in "loaded broken" VI (add some code, like reversing array back and forth, just to make LV recompile it). Deploy.
    5. Close the project. Restart RIO. Open project. Deploy.
    6. Close LabVIEW. Restart computer. Restart RIO. Open project. Deploy.
    7. Take another computer. Deploy from it.
    8. Close project. Clear compiled object cache (menu Tools -> Advanced -> Clear compiled object cache...). Open project. Wait until LV will open/recompile it. Deploy.
    9. Do as 7, but in the meantime reformat RIO from MAX. Open project. Deploy.
    10. Contact NI Support. Send them your project. Make them Deploy it.
    The fun starts when you have project which deploys for 30 minutes... Usually I skip straight to step 8 then, and usually it helps.

But soon after, the wifi connection was disconnected, and when I tried to connect the ethernet cable, the entire software had disappeared from my launchpad. When I tried to restart the download, it kept saying that the password had already been used before, and that it could only be used once per computer. What do I do now?
