Regarding the KB the issue happens when a client (Windows 2000) gets a temporary license from the 2003 licensing server and when this license should turn into a permanent one (2000 TS CAL, per device) it does not as there is a bug on the product listed. That is why a hotfix is required.

But i was wondering whether anyone clould clarify 2000 Terminal Services running in 2003 Active Directory with 2003 license servers. We have a 2003 Active Directory environment and are running Windows 2000 Terminal Servies. I understand that: 1. I have to add windows 2000 TS cals to the 2003 License serve in order for non windows 2000 and XP devices to connect. 2. I cannot use Per User Licenses for Windows 2000 Terminal Services users 3. Per user licenses are not tracked by the 2003 License server. 4. i am slightly confused after seeing the following Technet Article: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=837211 Right at the bottom of the article it says: WORKAROUND To work around this problem, install Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services CALs on the Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services Licensing server. Client computers can successfully upgrade from a temporary Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services CAL to a permanent Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services CAL. What it doesnt say is the type of Server 2003 TS Cals that should be added per user or per device. I read the good articles at www.brianmadden.com but they appear to cover my scenario. Thanks for you time. Regards
