It sounds like when the server was setup the full Terminal Service roles/features was installed but no license server was specified. <br />
<br />
The server does not need to be a domain member for Terminal Service access though if it's designated as an actual Terminal Server then it does need licenses. In a default state (i.e no TS roles/features in stalled) only the local admin should be able to remote onto it.

Could you help with details how to specified the license server in the server. Do i need to logon as an administrator to do this?
