Why i can see the following in the TS Licensing manager in addition to my
2008 licensed CALs?
Windows 2000 Server -Built-in Per Device CALs Total = Unlimited and
Available = Unlimited?

Thanks in advance
 
Re: TS Licensing Manager

Windows 2008 can still hand out licenses for a Windows 2000 terminal server.

the??

Re: TS Licensing Manager

A 2008 TS server does need CAL's. A 2000 TS server does not. A license
server is not tied in any way to a particular version except that the TS
server needs a minimum version of itself. For example a Win2k TS server
needs at least a Win2k license server. A Win2k3 TS server needs at least a
Win2k3 license server but can hand out CAL's to Win2k as well. A Win2k8 TS
server needs at leat a Win2k8 license server but can hand out licenses to
Win2k3 and Win2k.

I'm not sure how you get that that Win2k8 TS would not need any cal's. the
portion you point out specifically states Windows 2000.
