Losing connection to license server

[Guest Talbotl]

Hello All,

 

I'm having an issue with licensing in terminal services.

 

My terminal server will not stay connected to the license server. When I

open the licensing tool it says there is no available license server in the

domain or workgroup. So I choose the option to connect, specify the server

and it sees everything fine. I can see how many licenses are available. I

close the licensing tool and open it back up and again there is no license

server.

 

Any ideas why it won't stay connected?

 

Thanks

Re: Losing connection to license server

 

dns problem? lic servers get located via srv records in the dns structure.

in this article you'll find how to point TS to particular lic server by

registry keys.

PS: try to have only the primary dns in the network configuration in the

TS's. if the primary times out (heavy load/peaks), the TS will query the

secondary (the default gw e.g.) and the router will answer pretty fast with

unknown. the TS accepts this answer and don't know where to get licenses

from...
