Q. How do I move or delete a Terminal Services CAL from a client?
A. To move a Terminal Services CAL, see Knowledge Base article How to
Transfer Terminal Services CAL from One Computer to Another (Q248430).
For information about how Terminal Services CALs can be automatically
reissued, please see the Knowledge Base article describing the two licensing
enhancements made for Windows 2000. These licensing enhancements are also in
Windows Server 2003.
Q. How do I move my licenses from one licensing server to another?
A. You should back up your Terminal Services Licensing server regularly by
using the Windows Backup tool or something similar. Regular backups will help
protect your licensing data from accidental loss if your system experiences
hardware or storage failure.
When backing up a Terminal Server Licensing server, back up both the system
state data and the folder in which the Terminal Server Licensing server is
installed. This step ensures that data in both the registry and the Terminal
Services licensing server database is backed up.
If you restore the system state data and the database to the original
Terminal Services licensing server computer, any unissued licenses are
restored correctly as long as you have not replaced the operating system on
the computer. Otherwise, any unissued licenses are not restored, and an event
will appear in the system log providing the unissued count.
You can still restore the unissued licenses by using the TS License Manager
tool with the Telephone activation mechanism, and requesting the licenses
back. You can switch to the Telephone mechanism by right clicking on the
server in TS License Manager, and then selecting properties from the menu.
