RemoteFX license


i have seen question similar mine, not right on mark.

 

i have windows 7 ultimate runnning remotefx on hyper-v host. been working while under trial license, thats expired. when connect remotefx enabled error license server cannot located, sort of expected. here's what'ts not expected - have license server running, has rds cals on (windows server 2008 or windows server 2008 r2 : installed ts or rds per user cals). when pull report can see test user i'm trying connect win 7 remote fx has been issued 1 of these cal's , not expired. understand why this way being remotefx rds feature, need rds license. can tell have 1 though.

 

here questions:

1) license above right 1 use remote fx? haven;t been able find telling me not right license.

2) if license right win 7 remote fx machine must either not able find or talk licensing server. there way test this.

 

any or tips on test next huge help.

 

thanks,

doug

 

hi doug,

 

yes, rds per user cal should work here allow remotefx. according symptom, problem occurs when rd virtualization host server not configured correct rds license information. configure it, please refer following blog of remote desktop services team blog:

 

configuring remote desktop licensing settings on remote desktop virtualization host server

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2010/12/15/configuring-remote-desktop-licensing-settings-on-a-remote-desktop-virtualization-host-server.aspx

 

please note after completed step #4 in above blog take time installation of x509 certificates on rdvh server. x509 certificates need per user licensing mode work properly. after setting configured, rd virtualization host server able perform license validations virtual machine connection requests whenever applicable. please note these settings overwritten centralized licensing settings if administrator enables ‘central licensing management’ mode on rd connection broker server manages rd virtualization host server.
