Cannot connect to TS suddenly

[Michael Wai]

I've installed the Windows 2000 Server with SP4 on 26 Feb
2004 using for the TS only. Recently, most of the
computers cannot connect to the TS, only 3 of 19 computers
can connect to TS. If it is the problem of the license, I
wonder why some computers can connect to TS. Would anyone
give me a hand? Thanks a lot.

Sounds to me like your temporary licenses have expired.
When you install ts you get 90 days of free use. After
that you need to active the licensing server and buy some
licenses.
Check in your terminal server licensing util the status
of the licenses.

Thanks

Thanks for your reply Rob.

I have ordered the license and will set up the licensing
server. However, I wonder why 3 of 19 computers can still
connect to the TS, would you know about this issue?

Thanks.

Either these 3 clients have connected a litter bit later than the
other clients, and they still have some days left of their 90-days
temporary licenses, or they have previously connected to another
Terminal Server and received a full TS CAL from another TS
Licensing Server.
