Please read Technet article "Terminal Server Licensing Service Failure (Q277917)".

You get this error because:
CAUSE
Terminal Services licensing has been installed on a server that is not in a workgroup or on a server that is not a domain controller (DC) for the domain it is based in.

RESOLUTION
To resolve the issue, install Terminal Services Licensing service on a DC. The DC does not necessarily need to be run the Terminal Services service, just the Terminal Servers Licensing service.

Hope this helps.
