The default, recommended method, is to have the RD Licensing Manager automatically connect to gather the information. If the server has an internet connection then the activation can be performed over this connection. The activation process requires communication with Microsoft in one form or another. After reading the welcome screen click Next to proceed to the Connection Method screen. To activate a license server, right click on the server in the list and select Activate Server. On the confirmation screen, verify that the information matches your expectations and click Install to initiate the installation process. Check the box next to Remote Desktop Licensing, click Next and follow the steps outlined above. Read the information screen and then proceed to the Select Service Roles screen. From the list of roles select the check box next to Remote Desktop Services and click on the Next button. Click Next on the initial screen if it appears so that the Select Server Roles screen is displayed. On a server which is does not have the Remote Desktop Services role installed, open the Server Manager, select Roles from the tree in the left hand panel and select Add Roles. Click Next to proceed to the confirmation screen. Note, however, that this setting may be changed at a later time if required via the RD Licensing Manager tool. In keeping with this recommendation, leave the Configure a discovery scope for this license server option unselected. With Windows Server 2008 R2, this approach is discouraged, and Microsoft now recommends that each RD Session Host be manually configured with information about the license server. In the first version of Windows Server 2008, it was necessary to specify a method by which RD Session Host servers (or Terminal Servers as they were known then) would auto-detect the server running the licensing server. 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:

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. The installation can be performed using by selecting Roles from the tree in the left hand panel of the Server Manager tool. The license server does not necessarily have to be installed on a system which is acting as a Remote Desktop Server. The first step is to install the Remote Desktop Services License Services server role. Installing the Remote Desktop Services License Server
