Remote desktop licensing mode is not configured

remote desktop service will stop working because this computer is past its licensing grace period. on the rd connection broker server, use server manager too specify the remote desktop licensing mode and the license server.

Hi,
You need to setup the mode of RD License Server and make sure that RDSH is pointing to RD License Server.
Here are detailed instructions for it.
Thanks

  • Hi I am facing issue with Remote Desktop Licensing, it is not showing the original available licenses decreasing on the RD Licensing server

    When i added our license servers to one of the clients for RDS, and we three log in, i am seeing issued shows three now but i am still not seeing the total license count decreasing as we have licenses on per Device basis and have 200 licenses for
    our 2012 server. In review configuration, everything is green. 
    Why am i not seeing the decrease and why is there a built-in overuse option coming up and retail purchase count not going down?
    i wanted to paste an image but it says:

    Hi,
    1. What version is your RDSH server?  Is it 2012/2012 R2 or 2008 R2 or something else?
    2. If your RDSH is 2012/2012 R2, have you set the licensing mode to Per Device in RDS Deployment Properties?  In addition, is the RDSH server part of a collection?
    3. If your RDSH is 2008 R2, did you set the licensing mode to Per Device in RD Session Host Configuration (tsconfig.msc) or via group policy?
    4. If you could post a ling to the screenshot on one of the image sharing sites we could view it from there.  If not it would be helpful if you could provide the precise name of the pool (you need to make the column wider in RD Licensing) that the RDS
    CALs are being issued from as well as the precise name of the pool for your purchased RDS CALs.  The count columns would be helpful as well.
    5. In the Event Viewer\ Applications and Services Logs\ Microsoft\ Windows\ TerminalServices-Licensing log on your RD Licensing server there should be events when licenses are issued.  Please provide the event id and precise text of these events.
    Thanks.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Remote Desktop Virtualization Host does not have a license server

    I'm receiving an error when attempting to connect to a virtual desktop that is part of a virtual desktop collection. The server that hosts the virtual desktop collection also hosts a session host collection and the RD licensing server. The event log of the
    server issues event 1156 "The Remote Desktop Virtualization Host server does not have a Remote Desktop license server specified. To specify a license server for the Remote Desktop Virtualization Host server, use the RDS module for Windows PowerShell."
    The RD Licensing Manager indicates that volume licenses have been installed and are available as seen below. The RD Licensing Diagnoser indicates no issues.
    I found a MS blog entry for Windows 2008 R2 that indicates the following: "Because there is no GUI interface for specifying licensing configuration on an RD Virtualization Host server, support has been provided in Windows PowerShell to enable this scenario.
    As a result, a VDI administrator who does not want the (RemoteFX-enabled) RD Virtualization Host server’s licensing settings to be
    centrally managed (from the RD Connection Broker server) can manually configure these settings on the RD Virtualization Host server(s) in the VDI deployment by using the following Windows PowerShell cmdlets:", but I'm not sure if this applies to Windows
    2012 as well.
    Thanks.
    Dale
    Dale Smith

    Hi Dale,
    Based on my research, please try to use this PowerShell command to set the RD licensing server.
    Set-RDLicenseConfiguration -LicenseServer
    Server FQDN -Mode PerUser
    Set-RDLicenseConfiguration
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj215465.aspx
    Also, please note that the RDVH server must be a member of a VDI collection.
    Hope this helps.

  • Windows 2012 Remote desktop session host server not detecting RD licensing server

    Hi,
    We have a customer server which is Windows 2012. We installed RDS session host server role and configured it to use RD licensing server as per the
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2833839?wa=wsignin1.0
    After configuring, when I open RD license diagonser tool, it says, RD license server is not available. Also shows, credential not available. When I enter the credential by clicking, provide credentials, it does not get applied. I see no event logs related
    to RD service. However, I see the below event log which points to RD licensing server.
    DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer <RD license server> using any of the configured protocols; requested by PID     273c (C:\Windows\system32\mmc.exe).
    Please help in fixing the issue.
    Thanks,
    Umesh

    Hi Umesh,
    Thanks for your comment.
    During your configuration, have you specified RD License server for RDSH to use?
    You can also specify a license server for the RD Session Host server to use by applying the Group Policy under below path.
    Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Licensing 
    Use the specified Remote Desktop license servers – Provide the FQDN of the license servers to use
    Also this setting can be specified by below method.
    To configure the license server on RDSH/RDVH:
    $obj = gwmi -namespace "Root/CIMV2/TerminalServices" Win32_TerminalServiceSetting
    $obj.SetSpecifiedLicenseServerList("License.contoso.com")
    Note “License” is the name of the License Server in the environment
    To verify the license server configuration on RDSH/RDVH:
    $obj = gwmi -namespace "Root/CIMV2/TerminalServices" Win32_TerminalServiceSetting
    $obj.GetSpecifiedLicenseServerList()

  • Error in configuring remote desktop license

    Hello --
    I am going through the motions of configuring remote desktop licensing through the windows powershell. The commands that I have entered are the following:
    $obj = gwmi –namespace “Root/CIMV2/TerminalServices” Win32_TerminalServiceSetting
    $obj.ChangeMode(2)
    The following command is what I have used on other Windows 2012 servers to have the system in question point to the license server that will be servicing it:
    $obj.SetSpecifiedLicenseServerList(“PHSCTXLS03”)
    However, the error message that I am encountering is as follows:
    Exception calling “SetSpecifiedLicenseServerList” | “”
    At Line:1 char:1
    $obj,SetSpecifiedLicenseServerList(“PHSCTXLS03”)
                    CategoryInfo                     NotSpecified:

  • 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.

  • User can remote to server even reach the total of Remote Desktop License

    Hi,
    I have 15 remote desktop license. But when I check there are 19 user that currently remote to server. 
    May I know why they still can remote to server even have reach maximum total RDP license?
    My server is Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard.

    Easy. Per user licensing is not enforced by windows. The RDP server only needs to be able to reach a licensing server. If it is configured for per-user licensing, it will never do anything, licensing wise. It is up to the administrator to ensure that enough
    licenses are available in case of an audit. This is a paper exercise, not a technical limitation.

  • 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.
