Thanks for your reply, which cleared up the whole NT4 thing.
But, I need to revisit my question; all my servers will be running Win2k,
not Win2k3 sorry; I have a combination of Win2k and Win2k3 CALs.
I know now that I will need a Win2k3 server to use my Win2k3 calls; so I
will configure a Win2k3 licensing server.
Could I use Win2k3 licenses to allow the users to connect to the Win2k
servers?
Or could I enter my Win2k3 licenses as Win2k licenses?
Thanks!

Without checking the facts or doing the research to back them up...
I'd try to go for 2003 servers for all your terminal servers.
TS licensing won't work on NT4.0 as it's a Windows 2000/2003 component.
If you'll have an AD domain controller available within 90 days, wait and
install the license service on that. (Don't forget, and don't let it go
beyond 90 days, or you'll be stuck)
Failing that, I'd install the Terminal Server Licensing Server on a Win2003
server. It's not a heavy service. Set up you terminal servers as pointing to
that particular prefered server for licensing. When you have an AD domain
controller, backup the license server database and restore it to the DC,
then remove the "prefered server" pointer on all your TSs. That's assuming
you can restore a license database to another server...
Read the white papers available from MS on TS licensing until all this makes
sense to you.
Regards,
J

Subject: [THIN] MS Licensing Servers
Hi All,
I will be upgrading our MF1.8 NT4 to MFXP Win2k and Win2k3 servers; we are
currently running a NT4 domain, and we are in the process of upgrading it to
AD (this will be done after our Citrix and TSE upgrade); our current
licensing service is located on our NT4 PDC.
I have questions about the MS Licensing Servers:
Can I set up our NT4 Licensing Server (NT4 PDC) to serve our Windows 2k and
2k3 licenses?
If we can, when we upgrade to AD and migrate our TSE licenses, how would our
TSE environment react to this?
Thank you!
