Hi Vera,
the only message I get on the Citrix servers is "terminal server cannot
issue a client license".
As far as new licenses go, we have had new clients with no existing license
request a license and get turned down.
I'm frustrated to say the least. I can't help but think that the issue is a
bug somewhere related to a Windows 2003 TS Licensing server handing out
Windows 2000 CAL's. The odd thing is, this was the second move I made to
W2K3 TS Licensing server. The existing 2K3 Licensing server was fired back
up and immediately began handing out licenses.
Both installs are identical, both are activated with licenses installed.
When I disable the service on the working license server, the new server will
not hand out licenses; even when I manually point to that server!!!! To
complicate things even further, the event log on the license server indicates
that the server's TS Licensing is working! WTH????
