Remote Desktop Connection error: No RDC licenses available

Got the following error message using Remote Desktop in Windows 7:

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

Here is the fix, use REGEDIT to delete this key:

1. The solution is delete the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSLicensing
2. Right-Click on the Remote Desktop Connection icon PROPERTIES, then ADVANCED PROPERTIES and select “Run as Administrator“.
   This repopulates the key correctly.

Sometime, just step one will solve problem, if not, do second as well.
