w2kserver as a licence server

[Guest]

We have a win2k server running as a licence server. I doubt if it will be
able to function as a licence server for TS2003. Can i move the licence
server role to another (2003) server in our domain thus making that machine
capable of being a TS2003 licencing server?

if the terminal server is 2003, the license server can be any 2003 server

Ok, I tried the automatic licencing method from within de Terminal Server
but the wizard wasn't able to find a licence server. However, we do have
one, but it is a win2k server. Somehow I can't activate a licence server to
accept TS licences.

That's because a 2003 TS needs 2003 TS CALs, and those can only be
installed on a 2003 Licensing Server.
The reason for this is that a W2K Licensing Server doesn't know the
new licensing type (Per User versus Per Device).

But a 2003 LS can handle both 2003 and W2K TS CALs, so you could
move all of your TS Licensing to a 2003 Licensing server.
