    Hi @Dheeeraj Kumar

    For this kind of issue ,I you should ask the help of Microsoft support.

    Try to call Clearinghouse or Global Customer Service centers:

    Locate the Microsoft Clearinghouse telephone number when the license server is not activated

    Global Customer Service Centres.

    I found the solution

    RD Licensing Manager->Server->Manage Licenses

    -Rebuild License Server Database

    -The lincense server is being redeployed or choose appropraite option

    Confirm deletion of licenses currently install on this license server.

    Now you can use the existing keys to re-activate RD CALs licenses.
