Dear all, I am new to Windows 2003 Server enviroments. Seeking for anyone who
can help me. One of my terminal prompt a message asking the user to contact
Administrator because his terminal licensing is expiring very soon.

What should the administrator do? how to solve this? PLease help!
 
Check your licensing situation:

* did you install a TS Licensing Server?
* did you activate it?
* is the Licensing Service up and running? (check the EventLog)
* did you purchase and install TS CALs on the LS?
* do you still have enough free TS CALs?
* did you buy and install Per User or Per Device TS CALs?
* is the Terminal Server (not the LS!) using the same licensing mode
as the type of licenses you installed on the LS?
You can check this from Administrative Tools - Terminal Services
Configuration - Server Settings - Licensing Mode

Yes I bought the 2003 TS cals from the internet. Microsoft has sent me the
authorization key n license key.

Yes i installed that on the TS licensing server.

Please advice.
 
OK, we take the next bunch of questions. Please answer them all,
otherwise this is going to be a long process:

* did you install the licenses as "Per User" or "Per Device" TS
CALs?

* is the Terminal Server (not the LS!) using the same
licensing mode as the type of licenses you installed on the
LS? You can check this from Administrative Tools - Terminal
Services Configuration - Server Settings - Licensing Mode

* can the Terminal Server locate the TS Licensing Server (check in
the EventLog on the TS for errors and warnings).
