If you're not the admin of the server, the admin will need to install the RDS license manger and as RDS CALs. If the feature is not needed then uninstall RDS. Server admins can access the server with the admin switch /v or in the gui under advanced settings. These are the two console logins that work without RDS

If you have terminal services enabled (RDS) you need RDS CALs licenses to use that feature
