Terminal Services Licensing Work Around

Found myself dialing onto a terminal server for admin that i rarely use this morning; only to get the dreaded your license to use this has expired message. If you want to clear that you need to delete a registry key.

The Key is

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSLicensing\

Delete that whole key including all subfolders. When you go back into terminal services client it is recreated. If you find that when you run the terminal services client again, the registry key isn’t re-created. To have it re-created, run mstsc.exe as Administrator.
