Re: TS Licence Server message

No, that's what I meant with "unmanaged". Per User licenses are
actually never issued, so the Total and Available counters will
stay what they are.
Documented here:
822134 - The Function of Terminal Server CALs in Windows Server
2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=822134

But as long as your TS is configured to use Per User licenses and
you do *not* see any more temporary Per Device licenses issued,
then everthing is working as it should.
You'll have to keep track of the number of connecting users in some
other way, to be sure that you are compliant with the EULA. That's
easiest done by making sure that only 5 user accounts are members
of the Remote Desktop Users group on the TS.

Only one temporary license (Per Device) is issued and it was
issued before I installed the User licenses.

When looking at Per User CAL token it says Total = 5, Availible
= 5. Shouldn't there be a count down when users are connecting?
How can I verify that Per User licensing is working properly?

OK, I'm glad that your LS discovery problem is solved, but you
have another one :-)
You mention that you have installed Per User licenses, but the
server is issueing temporary licenses (which are Per Device,
correct?).
That means that your Terminal Server is still running in the
default Per Device licensing mode. You have to change that, in
Terminal Services Configuration - server settings.
Note that Per User licenses are currently unmanaged, so they
will always be listed as N/A.

It only issues temporary licenses. The User CAL licences

When I run lsview no ââ?¬Å?Machineââ?¬Â? is displayed.

Now I am logging in with a Domain Admin account, didn't
help. I was only Local administrator when I installed the
LS.

It is installed as Domain LS.

Yes, it should.
Does the LS issue temporary licenses to connecting
clients? Have you run lsview from the Resource Kit?
Are you logging in on the server with an Domain
Administrator account?
Is the LS installed as Enterprise or as Domain LS?
If Enterprise, did you use an Enterprise Administrator
account during installation? Have you checked the entry
for the Enterprise LS in AD?
LDAP://CN=TS-Enterprise-License-Server,CN=site-
name,CN=sites,CN=configuration,DC=domainname,DC=com
Have you checked the DNS entry for the server?

Hi,
I get a message: Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã?â??No Terminal Server
licence server is available
Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã?¦Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã?Â? every time I start
Terminal Server Licensing. I only have one server in my
domain, Windows 2003 TS which also is a DC and TS
Licence Server. I know this is not the recommend
solution, but shouldnÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢t it work?

I can connect manually to the Licence Server and verify
that it is activated.

Why doesnÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢t it connect to the Licence
Server automatically? Will this situation cause problem
for me when the first 120 days has passed?

Thanks!
Tommy
