License needed all of a sudden
We have VDI up and running with Windows 10 Enterprise for Virtual Desktop, edition 1903 (upgraded from earlier version I think). When users have been signing into the machine they have been getting a message that no remote licensing server is configured and that the machine will stop functioning after a number of days. Now we are at day 0 and when I sign into the machine it says that it will disconnect me after 60 minutes.
I was under the impression that since it is a Windows 10 machine I wouldn’t need to provide a licensing server?

Fosselius You are correct, since you are running Windows 10 (Client) there's no need for an RDS license server. We are working on a fix, meanwhile you can follow these instructions for a workaround:
Please let us know whether this helped.
PieterWigleven I’m afraid this broke it completely. Now I’m not able to sign in at all, i get this message when trying now.
Fosselius Looks like the grace period has expired. Could you remote to the Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session with RDP using the MSTSC /ADMIN parameter. This should probably be done from a VM in the same subnet, e.g. your domain controller. Alternatively assign a temporary public IP to the VM.
Next, please make sure all Windows Updates are installed, the latest update should have a mitigation for this. Since the grace period has expired it could be that the update doesn't affect you, please let me know if this is the case.
