Fix: Remote Session Disconnected: No Remote Desktop License Servers/Client Access Licenses Available

Many Hyonix customers and windows users reported the same error to our staff several times. To put the information regarding the possible cause of this type of issue and how we can resolve them from windows side, we are writing this article. Let’s get started!!

Remote session was disconnected because there are no Remote Desktop client access licenses available for this computer. Please contact the server administrator.

Why does this happen?

There are several reasons behind that, but the most prominent one is when your RDS license is expired. In many cases, to support any of the services, any user/administrator might enable the RDS. By default, it has some trial period; once it is over, you will most likely face this kind of error.
