Windows 2003 ts license server issuing unexpected licence type

[Brian Daglish]

Hi guys,

I'm currently working with a small test environment featuring a 2003
(standard) pdc and several 2003 (std/ent) & 2000 (std/adv) member servers.

I've got windows 2003 licence server installed on the pdc.

After activating the licence server (and rebooting the box), I ran a small
test wherein I rdp'd from one win2k box to another win2k box. Note at this
stage I have not installed any tscals on the license server.

What I expected to see is the 2003 ts licence server issue an existing
windows 2000 (built-in) cal for this win2k to win2k transaction.

But what it infact issued was a temporary existing windows 2000 cal!! I've
repeated this test a number of times with the same result.

So my question is have I some how managed to set up my licence server
incorrectly?? In a similar setup a number of weeks ago I saw the 2003
licence server issue existing built-in licences for win2k to win2k
connections. Any ideas what I may have wrong with my current setup??

Many thanks for ur replies.

I don't recall which one does which as 2k and 2k3 TS
licenss servers act a little different. But, I know one of
them issues the permanent TS CALs at time the temp TS CALs
expire and not before. So, you may just have to wait the
90 or 120 day period to find out. Sorry.
