Terminal Services lisence issue

[Guest]

Hi,

I have terminal server running on my win2k3 server. This is the PDC which
also has AD, DHCP and DNS running on it. I have had no problems using
Terminal Server with the temoporary lisences so far. However these are
expiring very soon. i've purchased a 10 user or computer lisence package
and installed the terminal server lisence server on the same server as
terminal server. I did read that this is not recommended, but it did not
state it was mandatory to install the lisence server on a different machine.
I've added the users that I want to issue the lisences to the Terminal
Server Lisence group in AD but they continue to use the temporary lisence.
Will these users simply switch over to the purchased lisences once the
temporary ones expire? Or am i missing something to assign the lisences
properly? Thanks for your help.

I did some reading and I think I might be alright. I didn't know that Per
User CAL's were unmanaged so hopefully everything will go fine when
temporary lisence expire
