2008 RDS user cal License moving to 2012 server

Hello ,

We have moved the 2008 RDS User Cal Volume License to the 2012 server .

In the RDS license Manager it is showing usage is showing as Zero even though users are using the service.

It is issuing the temporary license.

Does anyone have document how to follow the migrations process from 2008 RDS User Cal Volume License to the 2012 server.

please provide the resolutions.

Hi,

Please describe in more detail you current server configuration and what steps you have performed so far.

1. Are the users logging on to a Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH) server, or Server 2012/2012 R2 RDSH server?  If the RDSH server is 2012/2012 R2 then 2012 RDS CALs are required.  Additionally you need to configure the licensing mode of the 2012 RDSH server to be Per User.  From your description it sounds like it is set to Per Device.  The licensing mode is set in the RDS deployment properties: Server Manager -- RDS -- Overview -- Deployment Overview -- Tasks -- Edit Deployment Properties -- RD Licensing tab.

2. If the users are logging on to a Server 2008 R2 RDSH server, did you set its licensing mode to Per User and point it to the new 2012 RD Licensing server?  You can do this by logging on to the RDSH as an admin and opening RD Session Host Configuration (tsconfig.msc) or by setting the appropriate group policy.

Thanks.
