For session directory, see the white paper:

For licensing, see the TS FAQ:
Q. How do I configure Terminal Services Licensing (TSL) servers for
redundancy or high availability?
A. The recommended method to configure TSL servers for high availability is
to install at least two TSL servers with available Terminal Services Client
Access Licenses (CALs). Each server will then advertise in Active Directory
(AD) as enterprise license servers with regard to the following Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP): //CN=TS-Enterprise-License-Server,CN=site
name,CN=sites,CN=configuration-container.
Each TSL server should contain 50% of your CALs for load balancing within
your environment. If a TSL server does not have valid CALs, then that TSL
server will attempt to refer to other TSLs with valid CALs for license
issuance. (This applies to both enterprise license servers and domain
license servers.)
Please review the License Issuance matrix to see all possible
high-availability scenarios concerning temporary and permanent license
issuance.
Each client will begin a license request and upgrade seven days prior to the
license expiration date. This should allow sufficient time to address any
issues with individual TSLs. If all TSL servers are down at the same time,
new clients or clients with expired licenses will be denied access. In
addition, TSL servers should be separated by network subnets to ensure that
a network outage does not prevent users from connecting to a TSL Server.
Finally, administrators should use the Terminal Server Licensing Tool to
ensure that at least 10% of their CALs are available on each licensing
server. Conversely, if available licenses are limited to a single licensing
server that suffers an outage, clients with expired licenses will be denied
access immediately, and clients with licenses expiring within 7 days will be
denied access as they meet their expiration dates.
