TS Licensing

Is the license server on the domain controller?

Originally, no. This was an NT 4 Domain with a Win2k TS.
We used a swing server in order to upgrade and after we
transfered the FSMO roles we dcpromo'd it and removed it
entirely. Apparently the swing server took the role of
License server (I transfered that role after it was
removed from the domain). Now When I attempt to add
licenses in TS license Mgr it reports that it can access a
license server.

Any thoughts? Thank you for your time.

Are there any eventlog messages? Have you tried to remove
the TS license service and then readd it?

Ok...from the terminal server, can you connect to the
license server manually by entering the network address of
it?

Have you also tried to hardcode the name of the license
server into the registry of the terminal server?

Thank you for your help. I changed the license server to
another DC and install the TS Licenses. I can now connect
from the TS server to the TS License server.
