Hello,

Have you activated your licence server and installed your device CALS?

have a look here https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/37408.setup-rd-licensing-role-on-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx on how to do this.

Hope that helps if you need further assistance just ask.

Thanks

I activated the license server before and installed 100 per Device CALs. When I used the first two clients to remote into the server, I was able to see the remaing 98 per Device CALs

Hello,

It is sounding like the server has not been setup to use the licencing server. I am taking a guess here and going to say you do not have a connection broker, but I could be wrong.

This can be done via gpo / local security policy or PowerShell.

have a look here https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askperf/2013/09/20/rd-licensing-configuration-on-windows-server-2012/ and scroll down to the section Configuring License server manually.

Hope that helps.

If not happy to help further.

Thanks

Richard
