Where to find the numbers that go into the Licensing Manager

After the license is purchased, head to the Remote Desktop Licensing Manager on your Windows Server.

After choosing the Open License option for installing licenses, you'll need to know where to find two numbers.
  • License Number and Authorization Number.
To get these numbers, login to the Volume License Center and grab the two shown in the screenshot.

The Parent Program is what is needed to fill in the  Authorization Number.  The License ID column is what is needed for the license number.

When it doubt, match the length of the two numbers to the example shown in the RDP License Manager.

This worked for me.
