Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Services Licensing

Question

I currently have a single Remote App server running on server 2012 (not R2). Let's call it Remote1 for simplicity.  I want to add a second individual server (Remote2) running it's own connection broker, gateway and session host on one machine. 
Is it possible to do this while having Remote1 acting as the license server or would I have to add Remote2 to the server pool acting as a session host only?  Would purchasing Remote2's own set of CAL's make this work?

Answer 1

Is the license server and the session host in the same domain? You don't have to put Remote2 into pool where you have Remote1.
They both can act as seperate entity as you said. But if the only need is to have remote1 as a license server for remote2 then you can use the following method to specify the license mode and license server on remote2
Configure the Remote Desktop Session Host role with to use the localRemote Desktop Licensing server. Follow these steps:
Open an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt
Type the following command on the PS prompt and press Enter:
$obj = gwmi -namespace "Root/CIMV2/TerminalServices" Win32_TerminalServiceSetting
Run the following command to set the licensing mode:
Note: Value = 2 for Per device, Value = 4 for Per User
$obj.ChangeMode(value)
Run the following command to replace the machine name with License Server:
$obj.SetSpecifiedLicenseServerList("LicServer")
Run the following command to verify the settings that are configured using above mentioned steps:
$obj.GetSpecifiedLicenseServerList()
You should see the server name in the output.
