no Terminal Servers license Servers available in W2003

[Alby]

I installed a Terminal Server, but from some days when i'm trying to connect
from a client :

"The remote session was disconnected because there are no Terminal Server
License Servers available to provide a license.
Please contact the server administrator."

I have also a network of n°3 Terminal Servers W2k that work without problem
: why ?

To connect to a Windows 2003 Terminal Server, you need 2003 TS
CALs. These can only be installed on a 2003 TS Licensing Server.
W2K LS cannot handle them, since the licensing scheme changed
quite a bit from W2K to 2003. But the other way around is OK. So
your best option is to install and activate a 2003 TS Licensing
server, move your W2K licenses to the 2003 LS and install some
additional 2003 TS CALs on it.

To connect to a Windows 2003 Terminal Server, you need 2003 TS
etc.

but i have to buy more Licences also for the actual users of Terminal
Services W2K or they can work over a W2003 TS instead W2K TS server ?

Thanks for your reply

Yes, if you want your current users to connect to the 2003 Terminal
Server, you have to buy a new 2003 TS CAL for every user or client
computer. Read the 2003 Licensing FAQ that I posted before:

This happened to me, and I have the server activated and with licenses available. The TS just don't retain the settings for the TS Licensing server
All new users at this point can't get a license.
