[THIN] Re: Citrix Licensing

Thanks for the info Jim.  I am moving to W2K3 and MPS 3.0 which I'm 
setting up in parallel with my old farm.  Actually it's already up and 
running I just need to get off the temp CAL's.

Thanks,

Jobe, 
 
            If I choose to install the licenses is it going to remove/disable 
them 
from the other licensing server in the other domain?
 
MS's TS licensing model isn't "intelligent" enough to proactivly remove or 
disable license sets on the fly based on another TS license server coming 
online. An MS TS license server is either responding to TS license 
requests for it's domain, or it's not. 
 
2003 TS cals are also different from windows 2000 TS cals. Windows 2003 
servers can be setup to hand out both win2k TS cals, and win2k3 TS cals; 
but windows 2k TS license servers can only support dishing out 2k TS cals.

PS ? your subject post mentions Citrix, but your questions appear 
primarily focussed on the MS TS cals. As an FYI if you're also looking at 
going to something like (oh?MPS 3.0) the citrix licensing does of course 
change, and you need to go through the process of upgrading / 
consolidating your Citrix licenses on the "my citrix" site. This process 
also . . won't adversly affect your current Citrix servers in the old 
domain and their Citrix license assignments. Similar to MS TS licensing, 
the Citrix licensing engine has no connection back to the "Citrix 
mothership" so to speak . . so updating your licensing to support MPS 3.0 
won't auto deativate the old farm.

I currently have licensing running in an NT 4.0 domain for Terminal 
Servers running Windows 2000.  I have setup a new 2003 domain with a new 
farm and installed a licensing server.  I've activated the licensing 
server and it's using temporary licenses.  If I choose to install the 
licenses is it going to remove/disable them from the other licensing 
server in the other domain?

Thanks,
