How to reset Windows 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services grace period
Hi Guys,

I have 14 days left on the grace period, I understand that I will need to setup a Licensing server to issue user CALS.

However for the interim I would like to extend/reset the grace period.

In the past on Windows 2003 server you could extend/reset.
