RDP No license server was available

Question

Hi All,

I have the Windows (Windows Server 2022 Datacenter Azure Edition). I want to take the RDP of the server and multiple users will access the RDP with one user id. Now I am getting error: No license server was available.

Can anyone please help me to solve the error?

Thanks and Regards,

Hello,

This error is usually related to licensing requirements for remote desktop services.

To solve this problem, you can:

Check the Grace period status: By default, Windows Server provides a grace period during which a limited number of users (typically two) can connect to the server using RDP without requiring additional licensing. Once this grace period expires, you need to configure a Remote Desktop License Server or reduce the number of concurrent RDP sessions to comply with the licensing requirements.

Configure a Remote Desktop License Server: If you have a valid Remote Desktop services license server, make sure it is properly configured and accessible to the server.

Purchase Additional licenses: If you need more than the default number of RDP sessions, you need to purchase additional Remote Desktop Services Client Access Licenses (CALs).

Check the RDS CAL type: Make sure you have the correct RDS CAL type (per user or per device) according to your usage scenario.

Restart the server: After changing the license configuration, restart the server to ensure that all Settings are applied correctly.
