Hello lorancesimon@gmail.com,

How many users did you connect to the TS? And how many client access licenses
did yuo purchase? You need for every user connecting via terminal services
a license from MS.

Best regards

Obvously, something is wrong with the TS Licensing Service and it
looks like it has never been able to start normally.
The best you can do is to uninstall the TS Licensing Services
completely, reboor the server and install the TS Licensing Service
again. Reboot again, and verify that the service is running.
Then start TS Licensing Manager and activate the Licensing Server.
And you will also have to buy and install TS CALs on the Licensing
Server.
