TS CAL Question

[Calen Slezash]

I was told by someone that a retail pack of "Terminal Services Client Access
Licenses For Microsoft Windows Server 2008" is able to be installed on a
Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server. I was doubtful, but tried installing
them anyway.

When doing so, I receive an "Invalid Code" error.

I bet the guy a case of beer that it couldn't be done.


Who gets the beer?

You do. You can't install Win2008 CALs on a Win2003 License Server.
