The license server needs to be activated, in order to allow a computer to establish a remote connection to a and RDS server. if you are not installing an RD server what function will the gateway server? I guess my question is , what exactly are you trying to do that can't be accomplished by FW rules or simple port forwarding?

Thanks Webster for answering my question. Maybe I can ask the next question that piggy backs off that. If the RDS server is setup as a RDS gateway only, does the licensing manager or CALS even need to be installed?

Server 2008R2 with RDS installed. It has 3 User CAL’s installed. I’m testing the CALS and now have 6 different RDP sessions that are active. Shouldn’t I have hit a limit here, 3 plus the 2 that come with servers by default? Thanks for any clarifications. Jimmy
