Question concerning the state of licenses of a Windows 2008 R2 RDS server after disolving the Domain, the DC, and the AD.

-

background: - several months windows 2008 r2 domain existed dc, , ad.  windows servers apart of domain.  1 of servers being windows 2008 r2 server remote desktop services loaded.  server licensed 8 user cals.  operating correctly.  since time domain has been removed, dc removed , ad removed.  left windows 2008 r2 servers in workgroup.  again, 1 being remote desktop server.

q1. can functioning per user cals (totaling 8) remain per user cals?

q2. required to switch them to 8 per device cals?

referencing: "best practices setting remote desktop licensing...." - article 2473823

in above article states under "rds host , rds licensing servers in same workgroup" "we can use per device cals in workgroup environment. so, should install per device cals on rds licensing server." ( in case both same server.

any information regarding licensing options can used on workgroup rds server appreciated.

hi,

yes, agree supporting article have commented. can use per device cal under workgroup environment , if want use per user cal server need member of domain. 

hope helps!

thanks.
