To find which license servers the Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH) is actively pointing to, check this path:
Configuring Remote Desktop Services (RDS) through the Windows Registry is a common task for system administrators troubleshooting licensing issues or setting up session hosts without using Group Policy Objects (GPO). Primary Registry Key Locations
Restart the RD Session Host server. Upon reboot, a new grace period key will generate, resetting the clock back to 120 days. 3. Fixing Client-Side Licensing Errors via MSLicensing rds cal license registry key
(Note: registry locations differ by Windows version and role state; below are commonly encountered paths on Windows Server editions.)
The client stores this licensing token locally in its system registry. The registry key acts as a local vault, proving to the RDS Session Host during subsequent connections that the device is legally authorized to establish a session. Registry Key Locations

Adjusting parameters within this subkey can force the client side to use updated remote desktop protocol extensions, changing how the client presents its hardware IDs to the licensing database. Troubleshooting Best Practices
The actual database location and configuration for the RDS License Server are stored here:

You must first take ownership and grant yourself "Full Control" permissions for this key. Once done, delete the L$RTMTIMEB... binary value inside.
By understanding these locations, administrators can effectively troubleshoot licensing bottlenecks, manage non-domain environments, and ensure compliant Remote Desktop Services deployments.
Administrators should primarily interact with these keys to resolve corruption issues (by deletion) or permission errors. Management of the actual license pool should always be performed via the RD Licensing Manager console.
: Note that Per User CAL tracking is fundamentally different; tokens are not cached locally on the client machine in the MSLicensing registry key. If your network uses Per User licensing, troubleshooting client-side registry keys will not fix server assignment issues.
