License Issued 0

[Yuri NLD]

Hi,

I’ve installed Terminal Server Licensing on two Domain Controller’s.
The servers are activated and TS User CAL’s are installed.
(MPLS agreement)

When I start the Terminal Server Licensing Tool on the Terminal Server it
discover the two DC’s. Only the column Issued is 0
I didn’t expect that because yours are logged on.

I’ve checked:
- license mode on the TS and it is Per User
- no errors in the TS event viewer when users log on
- no errors in de DC event viewer when users log on
- I’m using auto discovery mode (and it works, because the TS automatically
shows me the two DC’s)

I found this article:
http://blogs.msdn.com/ts/archive/2008/02/01/licensing-diagnosis-problems-and-resolutions.aspx
and realized that my DC’s are W2K3 Standard and my TS’s are W2K3 Enterprise.
Does that matter?

Or what else should I check?

Thanks for you help in advance,
Yuri

Re: License Issued 0

Hi:

Check this KB:


The function of Terminal Server CALs in Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822134/en-us

"...Currently, Windows Server 2003 does not manage User CALs. This means
that even though there is a User CAL in the license server database, the
User CAL will not be decremented when it is used. This does not remove
administrators from End User License Agreement (EULA) requirements to have a
valid terminal server (TS) CAL for each user. Failure to have a User CAL for
each user, if Device CALs are not being used, is a violation of the EULA. "

Hi Juan Perez,

Thanks for your quick reply!

So if I understand correctly.
I'm working with MS licenses legally.
Only the tool doesn't show me which TS CAL is in use by which User.
Is this right?

Thanks mate!
Yuri

Hi:

Yep, if you have let say 50 client PCs and you have 50 TS CALs you 100%
legal.

Basically when the TS see that its license mode is in "per user", it do not
borther to connect with the TS license server. Hence no TS CAL token is
issued by the TS license server.
