1.4 Relationship to Other Protocols

The Remote Desktop Protocol: Licensing Extension extends the Remote Desktop Protocol: Basic Connectivity and Graphics Remoting (as specified in [MS-RDPBCGR]) by adding licensing capabilities.

The licensing protocol sequence is started by the server during the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) standard connection sequence after receiving the Client Info PDU (see sections 1.3.1.1 and 2.2.11). If exchange of licensing information is required, the server sends a Server License Request (section 2.2.2.1) to the client at this point. Otherwise, the RDP standard connection sequence continues (see section 1.3.1.1).
