I have several Windows 2003 Server with Remote Desktop enabled for remote
administration. 2 of my servers are now giving me an error message to
install more licenses to be able to connect using an RDP client. These
servers are not being used as application server, we are just trying to
administer them remotely. I know Windows Server 2003 should allow 2
concurent connections without any additional licenses. Has anyone encounter
this issue before?

Could you post the exact error message, or even better: The EventID
and Source from the EventLog?

Could it be that your servers are running out of normal server CALs
instead of Terminal Server CALs?
