Licensing (Temporary Licenses)

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Yes, I can see there are a lot of people asking stuff about the
Licensing, and now I am also doing it..

Got a costumer who got a SBS2003 Server, and a Windows 2003 Std.
Server, used as Terminal Server.

I had to reinstall the Terminal Server, and I managed to get the
Terminal Licenses from the SBS Server in the domain. (I think)

BUT now all the computers get a temporary license, and not one of the
bought and registered licenses..

(See picture of it here: http://www.computerservice.dk/licensing.gif )

The question is now if I have registered the Terminal Server as a "Per
device" instead of "Per user" ??

And is my solution just to change this (I get a warning I cannot go
back if I make this change, this is why I ask in here, before trying
it:)

Please let me know if I need to post more info, I will do it ASAP

Hope to get reply soon, as the temporary licenses run out in 10 days
or so...

Regards

Steen
