    Fix Remote Desktop Licensing Mode is not configured


    Having fully installed Remote Desktop Services (RDS) on a server with the RD Connection Broker and RDS licensing set per user and everything is working with a valid license.

    After some time you notice a popup when you connect saying,

    Remote Desktop licensing mode is not configured
    Remote Desktop Services will stop working in 104 days. On the RD Connection Broker server, use Server Manager to specify the Remote Desktop licensing mode and the license server.

    When you open the RD Licensing Diagnoser, you will be prompted with an error saying, The licensing mode for the Remote Desktop Session Host server is not configured.

    From the Server Manager under Configure the Deployment and RD licensing, all seem to be configured well.

    Open a PowerShell as Administrator on the server and run the following command

    $obj = gwmi -namespace "Root/CIMV2/TerminalServices" Win32_TerminalServiceSetting
    $obj.GetSpecifiedLicenseServerList()

    This will show a parameter called SpecifiedLicenseServerList which would be empty as below.

    To populate the parameter, use the following command

    $obj.SetSpecifiedLicenseServerList("<full fqdn server name>")

    After this is done, the RD Licensing Diagnoser parameter should not report any errors. It is suggested to restart the server after this change.

    Alternatively, one could do this with registry with the following PowerShell script

    # Specify the RDS licensing type: 2 - Per Device CAL, 4 - Per User CAL
    $RDSCALMode = 4
    $RDSlicServer = "<server full fqdn name>"
    # Set the server name and type of licensing in the registry
    New-Item "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermService\Parameters\LicenseServers"
    New-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermService\Parameters\LicenseServers" -Name SpecifiedLicenseServers -Value $RDSlicServer -PropertyType "MultiString"
    Set-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\RCM\Licensing Core\" -Name "LicensingMode" -Value $RDSCALMode

    Hello,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    Please help me with the below details to understand your issue in a better way:



    1. Are you using the Microsoft remote desktop app?


    If you are using the Microsoft remote desktop app downloaded from
    Microsoft store then, I suggest you to follow the steps to
    fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store
    .



    If the issue still persists with the Microsoft remote desktop app, then you can contact the support team by going to the

    link
    and scrolling down to the bottom and clicking on
    Microsoft remote desktop support under the Publisher info.



    However, if you are using the Remote desktop connection, which comes pre-installed with Windows 10, then I suggest you to please post your question in the
    TechNet forum.



    Hope it helps.

    Hello,

    A factor why you're having issues remotely accessing your computer is due to settings configuration. We suggest that you refer to this article:

    • Press Windows key + X > Go to Control Panel.
    • In the View by: drop-down menu, select Small icons
      > Click Windows Firewall.
    • On the left side panel, hit Restore defaults.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions.

    To restore Local Group Policy to default:

    • Press Windows key + R > Enter gpedit.msc
    • Navigate to the following path on the left side panel: Local Computer Policy >
      Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates >
      All Settings
    • On the right side panel, sort the policy settings by State > Set the state from
      Enabled/Disable to Not Configured > Apply the settings.
    • Repeat the same for this path: Local Computer Policy >
      User Configuration
      > Administrative Templates >
      All Settings.
