CautionCaution
You must configure Terminal Server Licensing correctly in order for your terminal server to continue to accept connections from clients. To allow ample time for you to deploy a license server, Terminal Server provides a licensing grace period, during which no license server is required. During this grace period, a terminal server can accept connections from unlicensed clients without contacting a license server. The grace period begins the first time the terminal server accepts a client connection. It ends after you deploy a license server and that license server issues its first permanent client access license (CAL), or after 120 days, whichever comes first.

Install Client Access Licenses

Ensure that the terminal server can detect the license server.

Note

Although Terminal Server attempts to detect a license server automatically, it is recommended that you explicitly specify a preferred license server that a terminal server connects to.

Set preferred Terminal Server license servers

Ensure that the Terminal Server mode matches the type of CALs purchased.
