To install Remote Desktop Services User CAL on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition with SP1

Dear Sir,
Presently we have installed Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition with SP 1. And now i would like to install Remote Desktop Services User CAL on this server. I have 25 digit product key of Windows Server
2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services User CAL (20). Downloaded this product key from our MSDN Subscriptions.
Kindly suggest me how to install (CAL server with product key that i have) and configure remote desktop services on my above existing server also how to point other server with my CAL server.
Thanks

Hi,
1. Install Remote Desktop Session Host and Remote Desktop Licensing Role Services using Server Manager.
2. Open RD Licensing Manager (licmgr.exe), Activate your server, then install your license
3. In RD Session Host Configuration (tsconfig.msc), set the Licensing mode to Per User and Specify your RD Licensing server name (itself). If you want you may configure these two settings via group policy setting instead. The path of the
group policy settings is Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Session Host\ Licensing
4. You may point other RDSH servers to your RD Licensing server using RD Session Host Configuration or via group policy as mentioned above.
5. Optionally you may consider installing other Remote Desktop Role Services such as RD Gateway, RD Web Access, RD Connection Broker, etc.

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.

Terminal Services (TS) or Remote Desktop Services (RDS) scenario clarifications

Dear Support,
Question:
Do I still need to purchase RDS CALS license? or can use MSDN CALs in the Terminal Server?
Due to MSDN subscribers are End users, do not use Production Data and have to demo their developed applications to other End users group.
Scenario:
1. Use only Remote Desktop Session.
2. End users are MSDN Subscribers. (Although stated by Microsoft End users are non MSDN subscribers)
3. End users demo applications to End users.
4. End users develop their applications and have to demo to other End users group.
From MSDN link:
Client Access Licenses for Terminal Services
With an MSDN subscription, you are allowed to provide end users access to Internet demonstrations of your programs via Terminal Services (Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008) or Remote Desktop Services (Windows Server 2008 R2). Up to 200 anonymous
users can simultaneously access your demonstration this way. Your demonstration must not use production data. MSDN subscribers are licensed to demonstrate their applications to end users,
but Terminal Services (TS) or Remote Desktop Services (RDS) is the only scenario where end users without an MSDN subscription can interact with the demonstration application while the software is licensed through MSDN subscriptions.
Accessing CALs
MSDN subscribers can access CALs for demonstration purposes through the
Product keys page of MSDN Subscriber Downloads. Please access the documentation resources online for assistance with the
Terminal Server activation process. If you have any questions, please visit the Microsoft
Terminal Services forum.

Can I build Azure RemoteApp template without Remote Desktop License ?

Can I build Azure RemoteApp template without Remote Desktop License ?
I want to build and update the Azure RemoteApp template by using same Hyper-V guest image continue.
Message:
"Remote Desktop licensing mode is not configured"
Environment 1: my on-premises Hyper-V guest.
Environment 2: my Azure Virtual Machine by "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host" image.
Regards,
Yoshihiro Kawabata

Hi Yoshihiro,
If you are referring to RDS CAL, the answer is yes, you can build a template
without having an RDS CAL. For on-premises you would still need rights to install Windows Server as a guest, but to build the template you do not need an RDS CAL because this use is for administrative purposes.
In the case of building the image on an Azure Virtual Machine you do not need Windows Server license since that is included in the pricing for the Virtual Machine. As mentioned above you do not need an RDS CAL since you are only building a template
image which is administrative use.
As always please review the appropriate documents that apply to your situation such as the Online Service Terms (OST), Product Use Rights (PUR), license agreement(s), etc. for precise details.
Thanks.

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.

Remote Desktop Licensing Server for multiple deployments

Hi all. I'm towards a project of implementing 4 deployments of RDS in branch offices and 1 in head office. Those tend to be VMs on Server 2012 R2.
I've began collecting info from technet and even found that great post:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/yungchou/archive/2010/01/04/remote-desktop-services-rds-architecture-explained.aspx
but I still can't figure out if I'm to use separate licensing server for all deployments or there is a possibility to use a single one for 5?

If all machines are in the same domain a single license server will be fine. you will just need to add the licence server to your individual deployments via server manager. We have a single license server for 2003TS, 2012RDS 2012citrix VDI and 2008 Citrix

Remote desktop licensing on separate server

I would like to deploy Remote Desktop Services on Windows Server 2012 R2.
My idea is isolate the Remote Desktop Licensing role from other Remote Desktop Services roles and put Remote Desktop Licensing role to separate server which is also KMS host ?
Is that a good idea ?
Thanks !!

Hi,
Thanks for your comment. Sorry for late reply.
Yeah, you can put the RD License server on separate server and then use the other server to add roles when needed. But please see that, there must be one of the configuration for RD Licensing server.
For both Per Device and Per User CALs issuance to work, the RD Session Host and RD Licensing server in any one of the following three configurations:
• Both in the same workgroup
• Both in the same domain
• Both in the trusted (Two-way trust) Active Directory Domains or Forest

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.

No Remote Desktop Licensing Service?

You are going to need ti give a bit more information here, there are many versions and each has it's own methods.
Which OS 2012R2 or?
Is the licensing server a dedicated VM or does it share functionality?
Where does it never appear?

I am trying to migrate my citrix server and when I install remote desktop licensing the service never appears. So When I go into licensing manager, it says there may be an issue with the service. Does anyone know how to fix this?

How to create Remote Desktop Application in C# or port it from HTML5/JS project ?

Hi
How can create Remote Desktop Application in C# template ? I were searching on google but not found example or API for this.

And I have JavaScript project template Remote Desktop Application. Can i port it to c# ? Or use Webview to show it ?
I were create demo use webview to show it but it not run. Maybe i do some mistake or can't be do it.
Thanks.

I have no other options. We already provide the RDP plug-in for JavaScript. I'm not sure what else is needed for this.

If my reply answers your question, please mark this post as answered.
NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with
undefined objects and unknown namespaces.
My project needs work with C# Windows Store. So I need RDP on C#, not JS. If we don't support C#, do we have a RDP spec on Windows 8.1 so that we can follow that spec to implement with native code to support RDP?

How to use remote desktop client in mountain lion

How to use remote desktop client in mountain lion.
I want to connect my other system(ubuntu) using mac remote desktop client, But i could not locate remote desktop client in moutain lion.

In Ubuntu 12.xx use Dash to find "Desktop Sharing" and set the preferences, including requiring a password.
Then in Ubu use System Settings > Network to determine your Ubu machine's IP address, such as 192.168.1.13.
On the Mountain Lion Mac do Finder > Go > Connect to Server and enter: vnc://192.168.1.13 or whatever your IP is. Enter the password that you used in the Ubu Desktop Sharing setup, when asked.
On the Ubu machine answer the question that pops up asking for permission to connect. Your Ubu screen will now show up on the Mac, and you can remote control it. Here I am running "Octave" (a math program) on the Ubu machine, remotely.
Works great! BTW, you can do this from an iPad too, using a VNC client such as Mocha VNC Lite. You can even run both remotes simultaneously.
Good luck.
