RDP connect problem

How to Fix

You could log in to the vSphere Web Client if you have via console or have some other way to log in to the machine.

  1. Open regedit.exe and navigate to

    Regedit

  2. Search and Delete LicensingGracePeriod and LicensingGracePeriodExpirationWarningDays

  3. If deletion failed, this failure message appears unable to delete all specified values, you need change permission. Refer to the related videos on YouTuBe.

  4. Reboot the system if it is still doesn’t work.

In my case, every 90 to 120 days, the RDP end of grace period shows up, this is not the final solution. please let me know if you have a better solution.

Finally, thanks to Bill K. shared with me the above solution.
