W3k TS CAL on W2k Lic Srv.

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsnt.terminalserver.connectivity (More info?)

Hi all,
We desided to install a new W3k TS on our W2k Domain running a W2k TS
Lic. Server and one W2k TS.

- Have installed the W3k User CAL's on the W2k TS Lic Server
- finding out that W3k TS needs W3k Lic Server we upgraded our W2k Lic
Server to W3k.
My question now is:
In W3k TS Licensing I see my User CAL's as
- "Windows 2000 Server - TS CAL Token (per device)
- Temporary Licenses for Windows Server 2003 - Terminal Server per
Device CAL Token

I switched W3k TS to "User Licensing mode" but how do I switch my
installed W3k User CAL (witch show up as w2k server per device CALS) to
W3k User CAL's ????
And are the tempory issued licenes change to regular licenes automaticly
?? (When ??)

Any help is highly appreciated.
TIA
Dan

Since W2K doesn't know what a 2003 Per User TS CAL is, you
effectively changed them into 2000 Per Device TS CAL by installing
them on a W2K Licensing Server (it's as if you have used your
downgrade rights). Uppgrading the LS to 2003 doesn't change that.

You will have to phone the Clearinghouse and ask them to re-issue
your 2003 TS CALs.

In the present situation, your users will not be able to connect
after their temporary license expires.
