→Installing the Remote Desktop Services License Server
The first step is to install the Remote Desktop Services License Services server role. The license server does not necessarily have to be installed on a system which is acting as a Remote Desktop Server. The installation can be performed using by selecting Roles from the tree in the left hand panel of the Server Manager tool.
If the server is already configured with the Remote Desktop Services role, scroll down the Roles summary page to the Remote Desktop Services section click on the ''Add Role Services'' link. In the resulting dialog titled Select Role Services select the check box next to ''Remote Desktop Licensing'' and then click Next to proceed to the ''Configure discovery scope for RD licensing '' screen as illustrated in the following figure:
Read the information screen and then proceed to the Select Service Roles screen. Check the box next to ''Remote Desktop Licensing'', click Next and follow the steps outlined above.
On the confirmation screen, verify that the information matches your expectations and click Install to initiate the installation process.
