I am bringing up my first 2008 terminal server. When I install terminal
services it says that I need to connect to my license server.
My 2003 License server is a Win 2003 Domain Controller.
All my Terminal Services CALS were purchased with Software Assurance, so
they will not need to be replaced with 2008.

Will my 2008 Terminal server, recognize these Terminal Servers CALS on this
License server?
Will I need to install a 2008 License server?
Will I need to contact Microsoft to get the MTS CALs installed on the 2008
license server (If one is needed)?
Is there anything else that it sounds like I am missing?

Thanks

Chris

Re: 2008 Terminal Server Licensing

Hello Chris,

As per MS:
A terminal server running Windows Server 2008 cannot communicate with a license
server running Windows Server 2003.

Also see here about licensing:

To make it as easy as possible i would phone MS support, they can help you
with the correct infos and how to. Or choose your software vendor, should
be also aible to help you.

Best regards
