How to fix Remote Desktop Server License Expiration error Windows Server 2025 2022 2019, 16 and 12

Professor Robert McMillen shows you how to fix Remote Desktop Server License Expiration error Windows Server 2025, 2022, 2019, 2016 and 2012. This is also known as the time bomb error because of the 120 day time limit on the trial license. This fix works even if you installed the remote desktop licenses successfully after 120 days.

I will tell you Robert, as a Microsoft Partner and MCSE, they sure are making RDP more complicated these days. I know they will tell you to use RDP on Azure, but no thanks for me or most of our clients. Also, not a big fan of virtual desktop unless its VMware :). Thanks for the post as it also works with Windows Server 2019 RDP as well.

Thanks. Nice to see something so simple. Microsoft could make a novel out of the phrase "Click here". Nice work.

Only Microsoft can stop your RDS services even tho we have valid licences installed. Not just that, but theres no info on Microsoft website how to fix this. Thanks a lot for this!

In my understand, windows server 2008 r2 is free for 2 CAL.
In windows server 2019 standard seem only free for one CAL?

Hello Sir, I am using VDI on a Hyper-v environment now our connection broker server showing my trial 120 days license is going to expire. Is this procedure will help without affecting any configuration?

[yacksman]

Thank you @Robert can multiple users still be able to connect to the Server?

[freddycalderon]

Hi Robert! I performed this setup but how do I license the RDS server that end-users remote to? Since I am seeing the message there as well.

[trafalgerdavis]

Question: Does this need to be applied to any RDS/Xen Desktop servers used for dishing out desktop sessions, or only on the licensing server itself?

[Theashutoshv]

if the license server is window server 2012 will it not support if I try to give license to window server 2016. because why I am asking even i enabled both the settings in gpedit i am getting this 120 days license expiration pop up. Any help would be appreciated
