2003 TS server I bought 2003 TS cal I need to install them but I want to
make sure I don't mess up the current 2000 TS I am still going to be useing

Re: TS licensing

No, you can't. A 2003 Terminal Server needs 2003 TS CALs, and those
can only be installed on and issued by a 2003 TS Licensing Server.
So you'll have to install and activate the TS Licensing Service on a
2003 server, the same server as the 2003 TS or any other 2003 server
in the domain.
And that's no problem, since a 2003 TS Licensing Server doesn't have
to be a DC anymore.
Point your 2003 TS to the 2003 TS LS, and all should be well. Thu W2K
TS will continue to use the W2K LS on your DC. No risk for messing up
those licenses.

RE: TS licensing

Yes, that's no problem, you can have multiple Licensing servers.
