The remote session was disconnected because there was an internal error in the remote computers licensing protocol

Posted under Networking, Servers by admin

The other day I Found A Fix for a recent problem I was having. The issue is described as follows;

When trying to connect to a Remote Desktop Protocol session on a windows server 2003 , I would receive the following failure message ;

“The remote session was disconnected because there was an internal error in the remote computers licensing protocol”

Rebooting the server made no difference.

The solutions is as follows;

Open regedit and erase the keys:

1. HKLM\Software\Microsoft\TermServLicensing\Certificates.

2. HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services\TermservLicensing\Parameters\Certificates.000

3. HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services\TermservLicensing\Parameters\Certificates.001

You can either reboot the terminal services licenses service or reboot the server. I had to reboot the server in my situation because the service was unavailable.

Thanks to Experts Exchange for the solution here. I hope you too have Found A Fix!!!
