Windows 2008 Terminal Server Licensing

[Prakashkumaar]

Currently we've setup our Terminal Server on Windows 2008 server. We have
already 5 User CALs which is installed on a existing Terminal Server running
on Windows 2003 Server (also the AD domain)

My Questions are:

How do I transfer the existing CALs to Windows 2008 Terminal Server?
Is it possible? or
Do I need to setup TS Licensing on Win2008 server and then move the CALs
from Win2003 Server? or
Do I need purchase fresh CALs for Windows 2008 Server?

Any solutions would be appreciated

Thanks
Prakash

Re: Windows 2008 Terminal Server Licensing

A Windows 2008 TS needs to connect to a 2008 Licensing Server, and
it needs 2008 TS CALs. So there's no reason to move your 2003 TS
CALs, unless you are also running a Windows 2003 TS.
