Hello @Imtiyaz Faruqui

You have three options to migrate your RDS CALs:

Automatic connection method:
This recommended method communicates via internet directly to the Microsoft Clearinghouse outbound over TCP port 443.

Using a web browser:
This method allows migration when the server running the Remote Desktop Licensing Manager tool does not have internet connectivity, but the administrator has internet connectivity on a separate device. The URL for the Web migration method is displayed in the Manage RDS CALs Wizard.

Using a telephone:
This method allows the administrator to complete the migration process over the phone with a Microsoft representative. The appropriate telephone number is determined by the country/region that you chose in the Activate Server Wizard and is displayed in the Manage RDS CALs Wizard.

Here is specific steps to each migration method.

May I know are you going to deploy RD Licensing HA for RDS environment?
