RD Licensing


i have client on windows server 2012 r2 remote desktop connection broker, remote desktop licensing, remote desktop session host , remote desktop services.  when setup host , installed rds features licensing 120 days under windows 2000 server - built in ts per device cal.  have acquired , installed 10 rds user cals , purchased server cals.  when rdp host thought start issuing user cals licensing manager shows 0 issued.  process remove/disable windows 2000 licenses , start using purchased cals?  set gpo set licensing server , user cal.  have planned reboot patches weekend.  maybe reboot that's needed?  thx

hi,

okay, if no domain per user rds cals not issued.  make sure have configured licensing mode per user , specified rd licensing server name via group policy in gpedit.msc.

an alternative make server dc, create rds deployment using wizard in server manager, set deployment properties, create collection, etc., mentioned above.

please note without rds deployment make things more difficult configure/administer.  need use group policy settings, command line tools, registry edits, wmi commands, etc.  if need allow small number of people connect , full desktop may not matter.  if want use full set of rds features such remoteapps, rdweb access, remote resources, remoteapp , desktop connections, etc., having rds deployment needed.

thanks.
