Terminal Server Licensing

I am using Small Business Server 2000 with TS licensing installed on the
SBS 2000 which is the DC.

I have installed Windows 2003 servers running TS in application mode in
my network. I also have serveral Windows 2000 termial servers in the
network.

My grace period just expired on the Windows 2003 terminal servers and I
am getting a message that there are no terminal server license servers
available to provide a license. This happens even when I am using XP
Pro as the remote client.

Everything is working fine on the Windows 2000 terminal servers.

So I've come up with the following possibilities:

Do I need to relocate the TS license server to a Windows 2003 server?
Do I need to upgrade my small business server to SBS 2003?
Do I need to install Windows 2003 TS CALs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve

Yes, licensing for Terminal Services 2003 only runs on Windows 2003. Also, I
believe you have to have CALs for 2003 specifically. More info here:

A Windows 2003 TS needs 2003 CALs, so you need to buy these (both
normal server CALs and TS CALs).
Note that *every* client needs a 2003 TS CAL, also XP clients.

2003 TS CALs can *not* be installed on a SBS or Windows 2000 TS
Licensing Server, since they don't understand the 2003 licensing
types (Per User or Per Device).

You can either upgrade the SBS to SBS2003 and have it run the
Licensing Service (and install new 2003 TS CALs on it), or you can
install the Licensing Service on the 2003 Terminal Server (it
doesn't have to run on a Domain Controller anymore).
