Microsoft licensing user CAL

Question

Hi Support,

Currently i have Windows server 2012 Licensing server with total number of 105 CAL. As we have over subscript the CAL license. Is there anyway we can convert partial license to another standalone server? This standalone server was not join to AD, we need additional remote desktop session for this server.
Is that possible to convert the license to another new server?

Regards,
Shiro

Answer 2

Hello @Shiro S ,
Thank you for your question.

There are 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.
