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.

  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.

    PieterWigleven We're also seeing this error. Running 19.03 & updated to the patches released yesterday (Tuesday 10/8/2019, including KB4517389).
    
    We followed the instructions at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/troubleshoot-vm-configuration#remote-licensing-model-isnt-configured
    
    This simply changed the error from "Remote Desktop licensing mode is not configured" to "No remote licensing server is configured".
