Windows Server Remote Desktop License Crack

Mike, We are replacing an remote desktop services 2003 server with a new 2012 R2 remote desktop. I have been looking online for a way to add the 2012 R2 CALs to our 2008 License Manager server, but I’m having no luck. The Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration Tool was removed in Windows Server 2012 R2, and isn’t present in Server 2016 either. So you will have to specify licensing mode and licensing server through other means. Hi, I want to setup Terminal services (RDS) on windows 2016 server. I am estimating 50 concurrent RDP connection to this server but i was told by Vendor that RDS is inbuilt in 2016 and i do not need to buy separate licenses.

This blog post will document how to setup the role, activate the license server with Microsoft, add a license key, then configure RDS with the license.
