To renew RDS grace period, you need to find the following registry key and delete it.
“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\RCM\GracePeriod”
Before you can delete the registry key, you need to change ownership. You can do that by following these steps:
- Right-Click on the key.
- Click on “Permissions”.
- Click on “Advanced”.
- Click on “Owner”.
- Select “Administrators”.
- Click on “Apply”
You can now delete the key. Reboot the server and you now have a new grace period.
