Re: XP Home User Temp Licence from W2K TS Box

Hi Vera,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

The TS Licensing Server is 2000, not 2003.

How can TS CAL's only be installed on a 2003 Licensing server? I have a
client with a 2000 Server which runs TS CALS?? Thoughts?

Maybe that is where the issue is. The only option when I wanted TS CALs
was for 2003 TS CALs?! Thoughts?

Ok environment as per below:

DC: W2K3
TS: W2K

All users dial into the TS server and use applications and files from
there. The DC also handles MS Exchange 2003 which they use through
Outlook via TS.

Thanks

Simon

Which OS is your Terminal Services Licensing Server running?
You write that you "purchased 5 user TS CAL's". Per User TS CALs
can only be installed on a 2003 TS Licensing Server, and only used
by a 2003 Terminal Server (because they were introduced with
Windows 2003, so a W2K TS doesn't recognize them). Can that be your
problem?

If you have a W2K TS Licensing Server (and thus installed not Per
User, but Per Device TS CALs), then the problem could be that the
TS cannot locate the LS.
Could you please post details about your environment: which OS on
the TS, TS LS and the DC? On which server runs the TS LS?

Note that:
FYI my server is setup in 'PER SEAT' as opposed to 'PER SERVER'
mode.
has nothing to do with TS CALs. This describes how your server is
configured to handle server CALs.

I have a very similar problem. My client connects from their
Windows XP Home machine into a
W2K TS box. We recently purchased 5 user TS CAL's for these home
remote users. However now I am getting the yet the:

"Application popup: Terminal Services Warning : Your terminal
services temporary client license will expire in 11 days.
Please contact your system administrator to get a permanent
license."

I have only recently noticed that when the 5 TS CALs were put on
the server the TS Licencing service was not running so I have
now ensured this is running but its not resolved the problem.
FYI my server is setup in 'PER SEAT' as opposed to 'PER SERVER'
mode.

I look in my TS Licence Manager and none of the 5 licences I
bought are allocated and everyone seems to be stuck on temporary
licences.

Any suggestions I have 11 days to fix it!!

Many thanks.

Simon
