Symptoms

On a computer that is running Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2), Windows Server 2008, or Windows Server 2008 R2, the Terminal Services Licensing (TS Licensing) server or the Remote Desktop Licensing (RD Licensing) server becomes deactivated, and only temporary licenses can be issued.

Additionally, the following event resembles an event that is logged in the System log:


After an event that has the Event ID 17 is logged, any use of Microsoft Clearinghouse except for a reactivation may result in one of the following errors. When either of these errors are logged, the TS Licensing server or the RD Licensing server is deactivated if the server is connected to the Internet and if the connection method is set to Automatic.

The RD License Manager encountered an internal error from the license server. Message Number: 0xc0110011

The License Server Activation Wizard encountered an internal error from the license server
Message Number: 0xc0110011
 

Additionally, the event log entries may indicate that the certificate store is corrupted on the TS Licensing or RD Licensing server that contains the Microsoft Clearinghouse-issued certificates. After these event log entries are logged, the TS Licensing or RD Licensing server may be deactivated, and the following event that has the Event ID 38 is logged in an event log:

Cause

This issue occurs because a certificate that is part of the digital certificate chain expires.

When a TS Licensing server or a RD Licensing server is activated by using the automatic connection method, Microsoft Clearinghouse sends the server a digital certificate chain that validates the ownership and identity of the server. On February 26, 2010, a certificate that was part of this digital certificate chain expired. However, the TS Licensing server or the RD Licensing server interprets the expired certificate as a corrupted certificate. Therefore, an instance of the event that has Event ID 17 is logged.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, apply this hotfix on the problematic TS Licensing server or on the problematic RD Licensing server. Then, reactivate this TS Licensing server or this RD Licensing server.

Note After you install this hotfix, a Warning event that has the Event ID 46 is logged in an event log.


 Event Type: Warning
Event Source: TermServLicensing
Event Category: None
Event ID: 46
Date: date
Time: time
User: N/A
Computer: computer name
Description:
One or more Terminal Server Licensing certificates has expired. Please re-register.


This event asks the administrator to reactivate the TS Licensing server or the RD Licensing server. To resolve this issue, please reactivate the TS Licensing server. Reactivation of the server will not cause any trouble to CALs which are already installed on the licensing server.

Windows Server 2008 file information notes

Important Windows Vista hotfixes and Windows Server 2008 hotfixes are included in the same packages. However, only "Windows Vista" is listed on the Hotfix Request page. To request the hotfix package that applies to one or both operating systems, select the hotfix that is listed under "Windows Vista" on the page. Always refer to the "Applies To" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each hotfix applies to.

  • The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows Server 2008 and for Windows Vista" section. MUM files and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are extremely important to maintain the state of the updated components. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
