Transferring RDP CALs to another license server
Hi, I need to solve the following problem...
Current status:
Server1 - Windows Server 2016, standalone domain controller "olddomain.local", it has the RDP license server role (15 CALs) and is used as RDP for users it has the role of a licensed RDP server for these CALs.
Server2 - Windows Server 2022, is part of the domain "newdomain.local", I have purchased 10x RDS CAL licenses for this OS but I haven't activated them yet.
My Idea:
Server1 - will be part of the domain "newdomain.local", will serve as an RDP server for users
Server2 - it will have the role of a licensed RDP CALs and RDP CALs 2016 + 2022 will be activated on it so that more RDP users can access Server1. I think mixing licenses is possible.

Question... How do I transfer RDP licenses from Server1 to Server2 so they don't get lost or blocked?
Can I use this procedure?
