Hi Experts,
This project just dropped on our face and we need to prepare things fast. One thing we need to confirm is this. Will 2012 CAL works on Windows 2016 RD Licensing Server? Client's new environment has a Windows 2016 RD Licensing Server and their old RD Licensing Server is a Windows 2012 with 2012 CALs on it. If it works, we can migrate it this way, correct? Please advise.
Thank you so much in advanced!!
