Hi

So I have windows 2000 terminal server runnning - how I transfer those
license to 2008?
Or do we need to buy newer license? We didnt use software assurance at
the time of purchase.

Thanks for any guidance

Re: 2008 TS Licensing

The OS of your Terminal Server decides which type of licenses you
need.
If your Terminal Server still runs W2K and you only want to move your
W2K TS CALs to a new Licensing Server on a 2008 server, you can call
the Clearinghouse to get the licenses reissued for installation on
the new LS.
But if you are now running a 2008 Terminal Server, then you will also
need 2008 CALs and 2008 TS CALs, and there is no point in moving
those old W2K TS CALs, because they are worthless.
