Hi all,
I'm trying to transfer my RDS Device CAL from one server to another. Both are running Windows Server 2016 Standard, and are using aworkgroup (not a domain). The Device CAL was working perfectly on the old server.
I have gone through the steps to transfer the the CAL from the old server to the new one. It seemed to work fine: the new license appears in the RD Licensing Manager window on the new server, and has disappeared from the old server. However, the new license is not being issued.
I've changed the following settings at gpedit.msc \ Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Session Host \ Licensing:
- Use the specific Remote Desktop License servers: Enabled, License servers to use = my server name
- Set the Remote Desktop licensing mode: Enabled, Per device
Still no luck.
Two potential clues to a diagnosis: (1) in the RD Licensing Manager, there is no mention of Temporary RDS CALs, which do appear on my old server. (2) I'm still in the 120-day grace period
(I can't post screenshots as my account is not "verified").
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
