Terminal services licensing service after domain upgrade

We upgraded from NT 4.0 to Win2000 server. We now cannot start the terminal server licensing service on the Win2000 terminal server (member server). We have installed the Terminal services licensing service on the Win2000 DC. How can I move the licenses over?
I see the files in \winnt\system32\lserver, can i copy/export these to the new server? If I cannot, what will happen with the existing clients if I get new licenses from Microsoft? What will I have to do to get them going again, if anything?

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.

In short: you'll have to phone the Clearinghouse.

Thank you for the quick response

And the clients after i get the new licenses from Microsoft

Thank you again.

You don't need to do anything on the clients, they will continue to
use their existing license and renew it with the new LS, when it
expires.
