ERROR_CTX_LICENSE_EXPIRED
ERROR_CTX_LICENSE_EXPIRED means the RDS licensing state required for the connection has expired. The correct remedy is to configure a valid licensing deployment and CALs, not to reset the grace period as a workaround.
What to check
- Determine whether the RD Session Host is past its licensing grace period.
- Verify the RD Licensing server is activated, reachable, and has the right CALs for the configured mode.
- Confirm that effective Group Policy does not point the Session Host to the wrong license server or licensing mode.
