ERROR_CTX_CLIENT_LICENSE_NOT_SET

ERROR_CTX_CLIENT_LICENSE_NOT_SET means the client did not supply the licensing information required by the RD Session Host. The server-side licensing configuration and the client’s ability to obtain a valid CAL must both be checked.

What to check

  • Confirm that the RD Licensing role is installed, activated, reachable, and configured for the correct licensing mode.
  • Verify the Session Host points to the intended license server through deployment settings or effective policy.
  • Do not delete client licensing data as a first step; use RD Licensing Diagnoser to identify the actual configuration failure.
