Every time I try to log onto my work server using Remote Desktop Connection I get a message stating that the session was ended because the access license could not be updated or renewed. I am using Windows Vista Home Premium. The odd part of this is that I have an identical laptop running the same system and it connects fine. I spent a couple of hours with my administrator and I stumped him! Any ideas?J.D

Hi,Read carefully on this pages : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/187614Backup the Keys first.If you delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MSLicensing subkey on a client that is running Windows Vista or a later version, later attempts to connect to a Terminal Server may fail. Also, you receive the following error message: An Error occurred in the Licensing Protocol To resolve this problem, right-click the Remote Desktop Connection shortcut, and then click Run as Administrator. By default, the remote desktop connection runs as a user with the lowest user permissions. By default, a restricted user does not have permission to write registry entries to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Therefore, attempts to rewrite the MSLicensing key fail. Starting Remote Desktop Connection with administrative credentials provides the permissions that are necessary to write the needed registry keys.

Hi Nxoutlaw,Try the above see if the keys can be rewrite. So you don't have to delete the keys. Let us know if above work. Hope you find the info useful
