I'm honestly not sure if it's still used-we had our first TS on 2003 and are still running RDS on 2008 R2 (although the license server is 2012 R2). These are older articles, but maybe it all still applies?

Another thing to look at--if you open up ADS&S and click on your site that the server belongs to, do you see the TS-Enterprise-License-Server object, and does it include your server name in the properties as the "licensing computer"?

When I go to the RD Licensing Diagnoser, it shows no licenses available to clients and how RDS Licensing Server information. When I go to RDS Overview in Server Manager, I see the licensing server listed under Deployment Servers. It has been configured with user licenses. I have also tried to delete the default 120 grace period reg key, rebooted but that didn't help either. I'm stumped. Anyone see this issue?

Everything is working but it I get popup's regarding the licensing server being missing. However, it do have it installed. It is set for User CALS. I have the User CALS added to the licensing server. It shows a total for 4 Licenses, 4 Available, but 0 Issued. I haven't been successful in finding a solution for this. The RD Licensing Diagnoser says I have 0 licenses available. What gives?
