MAC Microsoft Remote Desktop Licensing Error
«You were disconnected from the Windows-based computer because of problems during the licensing protocol»
Is there a fix, I have read so many post. one which originally started all the way back in 2009 on Microsoft forums.
I am having 10.6+ MAC OS X remote into Windows Server 2008 R2 64 Bit Standard and they are getting the above error. I have heard of solutions but can not find one that works when I test it.
The Server works perfectly fine for Windows PCs and I am using CoRD at the moment which works but the managers of the company dislike it and want to use Remote Desktop provided by Microsoft.
The help desk software for IT. Free.
Track users’ IT needs, easily, and with only the features you need.

Try changing the Remote Desktop settings on the servers to «Allow any version» (middle option, less secure). Some clients still don’t support the latest RDP.
Already have done this.
The issue is RDC only works technically with 10.6 not Lion or Mountain Lion .7 and .8.
However I see RDC working in corporate situations of other companies. Also have heard people find solutions but they never detail what the solution actually is.

I can anecdotally say that RDC works on 10.7 and 10.8 when connecting to 2008R2. Are you using the most recent RDC version 2.1.1?
I use RDC 2.1.1 on 10.8 to connect to Server 2008 R2 all the time. No special settings needed aside from allowing any version to relax the security.
Yes been using 2.1.1
This is a post of my issue. A lot of people seem to be having issues also.
I use RDC on Mountain Lion connecting to WinSrv2008, 2003, XP, and 7. I don’t have any issues, but that doesn’t fix your problem.
=( sadly. it does not.
Antropy, Inc is an IT service provider.
I see this problem with the terminal server licensing is not functioning. When the licensing services isn’t working temporary licenses are issued to Windows (XP/Vista/7) Home and Mac clients. Windows pro versions do not seems to be impacted. Temporary licenses are only valid for 90 days. After 90 days you have to remove the temporary licenses from the client. Fix for Windows clients is well documented (delete the TSLicensing key). Using CoRD on the Mac can be a temporary fix but I’ve seen the license will expire with it as well.
IFor Mac clients
Delete the contents of:
«/Users/Shared/Microsoft/RDC Crucial Server Information».
Attempt to reconnect to the server.
If it fails change the permissions on the folder using this command.
Terminal window:
sudo chmod -R g+w /Users/Shared/Microsoft/
Hi Guys I know this is an old post but I thought this update might be usefully to all.
1.Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac is not intended for use with Mac OS X v10.7 (Lion) or later.
2. Microsoft have provided me with following information;
I want to inform you, that there is no more work being done on the Mac RDC client at this time. And once users move to Lion or Mountain Lion it is not supported.
That is to say if we will find a bug it will not be fixed, even not on Snow Leopard.
So planning for the future it makes sense to move from the RDC client example to «Cord» or «itap». Because you never know what update from Apple is going to break it.
3. The issue you a facing is down to the client and nothing else. Microsoft has provided us with a V2.1.2 RDP App but I cannot release any more about this. This has resolved the problem we faced

Frustrating, unusable
I was forced to download this after finding that my PC (at home) saved one of my excel files as a .PFILE… (note: without asking me to confirm, it did this. Strike one, microsoft)
After digging and finding this app and attempting to use it to open my file here, I found the app to be unusable. I have a solid internet connection and the app simply spins, without giving me any indication of what it’s doing. Now, I’m without my important files until I get back home to my PC. Very frustrating and damaging to my work.
I will be switching to Open Office 100% of the time after this. Unacceptable.
Worked perfectly
Read the whitepaper. Our Information Protection admin was able to secure a document which I was able to open without an issue after installing this applet. The program itself doesn’t seem to do anything except make the authentication connection to the Azure rights management system. Documents still open directly with the existing Office application and new documents have the option to use our org’s defined security levels.
Users who rate this low are likely not using the proper Office 365 Security license or don’t know what the program is supposed to do.
Does nothing
Was made to download this after being sent a protected file and it does nothing and I have no idea how to open said file now. Tried for my phone and computer. Nothing.

Additional information
This issue occurs when an Adobe CS3 Suite or stand-alone application is installed after the public beta version of a CS3 application has been removed. When you remove the public beta, be sure that you also deactivate it before you attempt to install the retail version of a CS3 product. If you do not deactivate, the system retains your serial number information and automatically enters it into the appropriate spaces in the Adobe CS3 setup application.

WHO IS GOING AFTER THESE PEOPLE? HOW DO I FILE A CRIMINAL COMPLAINT? WHAT IS MICROSOFT DOING ABOUT THESE THINGS?
