Hi, need help ASAP

An associate Sys Admin updated Terminal Services licensing on our win2003 server. We had purchased 5 Device CALs & 20 User CALS. The device CALs are OK. The User CALs however werre supposed to be split between our production and Staging environments

The license has already been install onto our active Production terminal Server, but we need to remove the client license pack and re-install with only 10 licenses. that way we can put the other 10 onto our staging environement

Does any know how to uninstall/remove the client license packs (without deactivating the license server itself). really need some help as this is causing big problems..

Many Thanks

Q. How do I move my licenses from one licensing server to another?

A. You should back up your Terminal Services licensing server
regularly by using the Windows Backup tool or similar. This will help
protect your licensing data from accidental loss if your system
experiences hardware or storage failure.

When backing up a Terminal Server License Server, back up both the
System State data and the folder in which the Terminal Server License
Server is installed. This ensures that data in both the registry and
the Terminal Services licensing server database is backed up.

If you restore the System State data and the database to the original
Terminal Services licensing server computer, any unissued licenses are
restored correctly as long as you have not replaced the operating
system on the computer. Otherwise any unissued licenses are not
restored and an event will appear in the system log providing the
unissued count. You can still restore the unissued licenses by using
the TS License Manager tool with the Telephone activation mechanism,
and requesting the licenses back. You can switch to the Telephone
mechanism by right clicking on the server in TS License Manager, and
selecting properties from the menu.
