How do I get a Win2003 R2 server I am connecting to with RDP to ask for a
terminal server user CAL from the License server? After 2 connections it
gives the message "The terminal server has exceeded the maximum number of
allowed connections." I have 15 user CALS installed on the licence server but
it can't see it for some reason. Is there any way to force it to see the
licence server?
 
Re: Licensing on Terminal service 2003

There are 2 possible reasons for this message:

1. you never installed terminal Services (in Control Panel -
Add/Remove programs - Add Windows components), so the server is still
runing only Remote Desktop for Administration and doesn't even try to
find a Licensing Server.

2. You did install TS, but for some reason or the other (can be a
GPO) the total number of allowed connections is set to 2. Check in
terminal Services Configuration - rdp-tcp connection properties -
Network. If it say "2" there and the value is greyed out and cannot
be changed, it's enforced in a Group Policy somewhere in your domain.
