We are in the process of decomissoning an old server. This server only
functions as a W2K3 Server Terminal Services licensing Server. What is the
proper way to move the Licenses from the Old server to a new server run W2K3
Server TS Licensing Services?

Thanks.

Q: How do I move my TS licenses to a new TS Licensing Server?

A: Here are the steps to move your TS CALs from one TS Licensing
Server to another:

1. install the Terminal Server Licensing component on the
new server
2. activate the TS Licensing Server on the new server
3. install your TS CALs on the new server. Since licenses
cannot be installed more than once, you will have to call
the Microsoft Clearinghouse:
* make sure that you have all the paperwork for the licenses
at hand (purchase contracts, licensing agreements, etc)
* start the Terminal Services Licensing tool, right-click
the server, choose Properties, choose "Telephone" on the
"Connection Metod" tab, choose your country or region,
click "OK". Right-click the server again, choose "Install
licenses", click "Next".
* call the regional Clearinghouse telephone number; they
will guide you through the rest of the installation process
4. verify that your Terminal Server(s) can locate the new TS
Licensing Server
5. deactivate the TS Licensing Server on the old server and
uninstall it

Re: Move Licensing Server

Thanks for the information, is there a way to retrieve the TS activation
information from the old server? SA Who initially installed the TS License
Server has retired and we can't find the paper work, would the Clearhousing
be able to look our information up and provide us with the activation code?

Re: Move Licensing Server

You should be able to get the information from your Microsoft Licensing
partner. They generally keep records of each and every purchase.

Re: Move Licensing Server

No, you'll have to find the paperwork.
You could try to contact your reseller. Maybe they have a record of
what you bought.
