How to Renew 120 Days of Terminal License of Windows 2012.

How to Renew 120 Days of Terminal License of Windows 2012.


 In Server 2012 the key is here 
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\RCM\GracePeriod    
You have to delete the Grace Period Key (leave only default value)but to do that you will have to change the permissions on the folder and all items within it.

 Note:
We did not have to delete or rename %WINDIR%\system32\lserver\TSLIC.edb 
After deleting the Reg Key we rebooted and we went from 0 days to 120 days.
