    Hello,

    I previously enabled this to test multiple simultaneous login to my server. I don't use it now so I never purchased the required license. I want to disable the feature and return to the regular 2 session login on my server.

    1.) Can you please verify that the following steps will disable this feature:

    Open gpedit.msc

    navigate to : Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Session Host\ Licensing

    Use the specified Remote Desktop license servers     Disables

    Set the Remote Desktop licensing mode     Disabled

     2.) Will this now revert to the original setup where only 2 sessions are allowed?

    Thank you in advance.

    You'll just need to remove the RDS roles.

    Hello,

    You can uninstall it by removing the server role in server manager.

    • Open Server Manager. To open Server Manager, click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Server Manager.

    • In the left pane, expand Roles.

    • Right-click Remote Desktop Services, and then click Remove Role Services.

    • On the Select Role Services page, clear the Remote Desktop Licensing check box, and then click Next.

    • On the Confirm Removal Selections page, click Remove.

    • On the Removal Progress page, removal progress is noted.

    • On the Removal Results page, you are prompted to restart the server to finish the removal process. Click Close, and then click Yes to restart the server.

    Hi,

    If we would like to enable more than 2 simultaneously rdp sessions, we are suggested to install RDS roles and install RDS CALs if needed.

     

    So if you would like to revert back, you shall remove the RDS roles you've installed from server manager in connection broker (common deployment).

     

    Thanks,

    Jenny
