How to install device cals on Windows Server 2012 standard edition

Hello i have a windows server 2012 standard edition licence that i have taken on rent from an ISP.
i have created a domain controller on that.
By default only two users can use remote desktop to the server simultaneously.
My Requirement is 20 users can use remote desktop to the server at the same time.For that i have purchased 20 Delive CALs licences like volume licencing.
i have the licence number noted on the paper.
do i need to install remote desktop services first etc ?
Could anyone guide me step by step how can i install or configure so that 20 users can use remote desktop on the same time.

Hi,
Any update about the issue?
I would agree with others, you need to install Remote Desktop Services Client Access Licenses.
There are three methods by which you can install Remote Desktop Services client access licenses (RDS CALs) onto your license server:
• Install Remote Desktop Services Client Access Licenses Automatically
• Install Remote Desktop Services Client Access Licenses by Using a Web Browser
• Install Remote Desktop Services Client Access Licenses by Using the Telephone
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725890.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
Then you can install both Per User and Per Device CALs onto the same license server.

  • Unable to install Device CALs on Windows Server 2012 after OS Reinstall

    Due to a hardware fault we had to reinstall Windows Server 2012. I have activated the Terminal Services licensing Server but I am unable to install Device CALs that we have purchased.
    The error is as follows:
    "Remote Desktop Services Licensing is unable to process your request. Make sure you provided correct information. If the problem persists, try other methods of activation. Error code is 800"
    I tried contacting technical support over phone - they are also unable to resolve the issue.

    Hi, thanks for response.
    I contacted Clearing House over phone and provided them with all the details regarding authorization
    number(s), license number(s) et al. However they also mentioned that there is some technical error from their "tool" and directed me to Technet Forum.
    I shall try the Hotfix

  • Assign 2 of Windows Server 2012 Standard edition licensing question

    I'm new at this and I have bought Windows 2012 Standard with 5 CALs back in January from Microsoft store on the Internet using as the host. There is Windows 2008 R2 installed as the virtual machine on the host. Few hours ago I have decided to buy another
    license with 5 CALs to upgrade those even that I did need two license of Windows 2012 Standard anyway to support 4 physical processor as my server have quad core processor.
    The question here that I need to ask is how do I assign 2 license of Windows Server 2012 Standard edition on the host to lift the limit and that up to 4 VMs will be allowed or does it automatically do that after upgrading to Windows 2012 Standard in
    the virtual machine even that 5 CALs plus 5 CALs equal 10 CALs are done automatically?

    Hello,
    You have 2 questions here:
    1. How can I stack multiple OS licence in order to have more virtualization rights (more VMs) running on that host?
    2. How can I stack Windows CAL licence from OEM.
    Answers are:
    1. You only have to licence the original licence on the physical host. You can use the same license key for all 4 VMs or use 2 VM key from the first package and 2 VM keys from the second licence package you just bought.
    There is nowhere to register those licence, except one by one inside the VM themselves.
    You have to keep all licence document in case of control by Microsoft.
    2. Windows CAL allows a user (or a computer) to connect to an unlimited number of Windows Server within your company network. You have 10 CAL so you can have up to 10 users or computers in your company that will connect to your servers (even if you have 1.000
    servers)
    There is nowhere to register those licence, except one by one inside the VM themselves.
    You have to keep all licence document in case of control by Microsoft.
    Regards
    PS: The only licence that require maintenance and central registration are Remote Desktop Licences.

    That is what I thought as I was told before even seen licensing details except a direction of how to attach the second license and I had to make sure. Thank you

  • Windows server 2012 Standard Edition Licensing

    We have SPLA aggrement with MS.
    I know, can use two physical processors with Windows server 2012 Standard Edition.
    If i am planning to install Windows server 2012 Standard Edition in a virtual environment, lets say it has four cores, then how many licenses we need to buy for this ? Is it like each core has been considered as an separate processor in virtual environment
    for Windows server 2012 Standard Edition licensing ?

  • How to install Sticky Notes in Windows Server 2012 R2

    I want to install Sticky Note in Windows Server 2012 R2. If this app is not available in Server 2012 then which is the
    best "Sticky Note" application for this platform.
    Thanks

    Here are instructions for 2008 -
    http://www.win2008r2workstation.com/sticky-notes/  I'm not sure about the legality of that, as I think Microsoft has some rules in their license about copying files from one distribution to another.  You would need a lawyer to check on that.
    Otherwise, a simple Bing search will turn up freeware apps you can download.

  • Is it ok to install Exchange 2013 on Windows Server 2012 Standard?

    Hello everyone,
    I'd like to know if it is ok/safe to install Exchange Server 2013 on Windows Server 2012 Standard?
    As I started doing some research and noticed a page where Microsoft states they don't recommend running Exchange on Server 2012 Standard, and recommend making 2 different servers one for Active Directory and another for Exchange.
    On that page they also listed some features that wouldn't work in case of Exchange is running on Server 2012. And that it may put a larger data load if setup this way.
    I am hoping someone knowledgeable can explain and tell me if it is safe to use such setup or if it is better to use something like SBS 2011 Standard instead, which has Exchange included?
    Has anyone installed Exchange 2013 on Server 2012 Standard successfully and used it for more then several months without problems?
    Also just to give an idea on my background, I've been in IT field fairly long but haven't really updated to newer versions much and mainly used SBS 2003 and 2008 only with a few clients so haven't used 2008 too much.
    Thanks in advance.

    Few things to note.
    There is
    NO SBS in 2012
    All you need is a Std edition of Windows for Exchange 2013, as there is no difference in features between Std and Datacenter as far as Exchange is concerned.
    For 10 users, you can have one box with both AD and Exchange. It is not MS recommeded, but it IS supported.

  • How to install Oracle Instantclient on Windows Server 2008 Web Edition

    I am trying to install the Oracle Instantclient on our Windows Web server (x64).
    * I downloaded instantclient-basic-win-x86-64-11.1.0.7.0
    * Extracted to c:\instantclient
    * appended the directory to the path
    * created system variable 'SQL_PATH' with same path
    * gave everyone all rights to the instantclient folder
    * gave network service explicitly all rights to the instantclient folder
    * rebooted IIS
    * rebooted the server
    But still my application keeps returning with System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater.
    What am i missing/doing wrong? It seems i have mixed and merged all possible solutions which Google would return.

    Since System.Data.OracleClient is a Microsoft library, you'd better ask them.
    Or use Oracle's provider:

  • No Option To Install SNMP Service on Windows Server 2012 Standard

    Hi,
    was wondering if someone could help me with the below issue.
    i am trying to install the SNMP service on our new 2012 server however the role doesn't even exist?
    could someone advice on how we can install this role? i have looked everywhere but am unable to find an answer 
    thanking all in advance 

    the snmp role is being depreciated and replaced by CIM.
    but you should still be able to add it.
    its a feature - from server manager select install roles and features, click through the roles till you get to the features page and select snmp from the list

  • Is it possible to install SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition on a Windows Server 2012 Standard Which is installed on a Virtual Machine that is created by Hyper-V?

    Hi
    I have recently bought a Virtual Machine from a data center and installed a Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition on it. As I tried to install the SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition, the data center administrator denied me to do this telling me it is not possible
    to install any licensed Microsoft software on a Windows installed on virtual machine created by Hyper-V. It was really strange for me! I wanna know if this is true.
    Thanks Everybody

    Hi Farid,
    For SQL server running on virtual server please refer to following article :

  • Migrate SBS 2003 to Windows Server 2012 Standard

    We currently have two servers (SBS 2003 Standard utilizing Exchange 2003; Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard with SQL 2005).
    We want to retire the SBS or maybe both.
    We have purchased a new server (Windows Server 2012 Standard with licenses for Exchange 2013 and SQL 2012).
    Is there a whitepaper that describes how to migrate SBS 2003 to Windows Server 2012 Standard?
    Is it possible to run Exchange 2013 on the Windows Server 2012 box? In Hyper-V? If Exchange can run in a virtualized instance, do we need additional licensing to run another instance of Windows Server 2012 Standard?
    Can we run SQL 2012 on the same Windows Server 2012 box?
    We have about 35 users.

    Sal,
    Migration went fine.  Steps i took:
    Join 2012 Standard server as member.
    Migrated roles.
    I ended up manually creating new shares.  The old environment was a mess.  
    Robocopy data/verified.
    Seize FSMO roles

  • 1. Will CAL Licenses works if i use Windows Server 2012? 2. What GB of RAM can be used with Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition?

    I have been using Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition for my business purpose and there are at-least 30 Users who logged in into the server Via Remotely from different location. I want to upgrade my server with latest one with some extra cores and RAM for
    better and smooth operations for all users. So, i have a doubt whether my CAL Licenses will works with Windows Server 2012 or i need to purchase the new one for the same? 
    Moreover, if i don't upgrade my Windows to any 2012 edition and stay on 2008 Standard Edition how much maximum RAM can be installed at a time? is there any limitations? if Yes, please let me know how do i upgrade my Windows 2008 Standard Edition to any other
    business edition to avoid such limitations of RAM?
    Waiting for your favorable and quick response. 

    Hi again,
    th eupgrade optiuon from Standard 2008 to Enterprise 2008 was only available for customers with open value contract with activ esoftware assurance then they can purchase the step up license from Standard to Enterprise.
    the only way to have the Enterprise 2008 Edition is to make th edowngrad efrom 2012 Standard to 2008 Enterprise. it means that if you purchase the 2012 R2 Standard Edition, you may downgarde to Enterprise 2008/2008 R2. th ebest way to make the downgrade
    to 2008 R2 Enterprise is to purchase the current Version 2012 R2 Standard in volume licensing than you can download diretly from VLSC the Enterprise Edition.
    with your downgrade you can still using the 2008 CALs.
    thanks

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2832204/en-us
    To work around the issue, use one of the following methods:
    Assign the Log on as a service user right to NT SERVICE\ALL SERVICES in the GPO that defines the user right.
    Exclude the computer from the GPO that defines the user right.
    We moved the SCCM server to OU where no policies were getting applied and then applied the new GPO to that OU. Restarted the server and we were able to install WSUS role.
