Hello, I installed a 5 User RDS CAL on my 2016 Server a few months back and I am now getting an error stating: "...There are no Remote desktop License Servers..." When I run the RD License Diagnoser it indicates there are no problems found. When I look at the RD Licensing Manager I see:
Could the Windows Server 2000 be taking over and causing the time bomb?
Any Ideas on how to fix the issue? Is it safe to remove the per Device CAL?
Thank you
For the per user Cals it must be a domain environment.

Hi,
Any reason you have 2 Licenses Per Device and Per User on the same server? Not recommended to have on the same server, you must set the License mode to Per user in RD Session Host Configuration (tsconfig.msc) if you have purchased User CALs.
If you have activated the license server and Licenses are not utilised you can try refreshing the registry keys:
Here's how to reactivate the RD Licensing server, perform the following procedure on the RDSH servers.
Open the Registry Editory and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\RCM.
On the Registry menu, select Export Registry File.
Enter exported- Certificate into the File name box, then select Save.
Right-click each of the following values, select Delete, and then select Yes to verify the deletion:
Certificate
X509 Certificate
X509 Certificate ID
X509 Certificate2

Than you for your suggestion. I tried running the tsconfig.msc and windows can't find it so I must have something deployed incorrectly. Although, it would seem that Remote Desktop services are installed and the CALs that I purchased are there.
Can I safely remove the Windows 2000 Server - Built-in TS Per Device CAL? Built-in is giving me pause.
Thanks
Hey Pat,
Apologies tsconfig was old tool but you can manage via the console. If you do not have any Per Device CALS and not planning to use I would remove that. What is the status of the licenses on the console for Per User CALs?
Thank you once again.
I will look into removing the Per Device CALs. There are Unlimited Licenses and none issued.
There are 5 Per user Licenses CALs with 4 issued and 1 available.
.
Thank you.
Thank you for you response.
The server is am on a domain.
