Two things:
1. My understanding is Server 2008 will track and enforce per-user
licensing
2. Licensing in this manner (selecting per-user and then not actually
purchasing the appropriate CALs) is a violation of Microsoft's licensing
terms. Many companies wish to comply with all licensing agreements, even
those that are based on the "honor system" and not rigidly enforced by
the vendor. Just so you know.

In Terminal Services Configuration, set the licensing mode to "Per
User". Then you won't have to worry about TS Licensing enforcement.
You must still have a TS Licensing Server but you don't have to install
any licenses on the server.

Christine,
It sounds like you're looking in the wrong place for the license
mode. "Per seat" is not an option for Terminal Services.
Log on to your license server and run Terminal Server Licensing.
Highlight the license server in the left pane. The Product column in the
right pane will tell you whether your licenses are per user or per
device.
Log on to your Terminal Server and run Terminal Services
Configuration. Highlight Server Settings in the left pane. The Licensing
setting in the right pane will tell you whether your mode is per user or
per device.
They must match.

Thanks for your reply. When run LSview.exe it shows my license
server, the current date and enterprise. No the license server is in
the same domain/site. The license mode is per seat.

If you install the windows 2003 resource kit and run the
lsview.exe utility what do you see? Is the licensing server setup in
Enterprise or Domain mode? Is the license server in a different Active
Directory Site or in a different domain? What mode is the license
server in (Per Device or Per Seat)? Which mode is the server set (Per
Device or Per Seat)?

Hi all!
I'm running a 2003 standard TS server in application mode. We
have a licensing server that has the cals installed and is currently
supporting another server.
The new TS server does not seem to see the licensing server and
I keep getting Event ID 1009 warnings that the 120 period is about to
expire. I've tried setting it to both auto discovery and pointing it to
the licensing server, but I'm still getting the errors.
The only information I was able to find was
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/885013
In my case, both conditions apply so I tried it and am awaiting
the results. In the meantime I thought I would check to see if anyone
knew of a way I could definitely tell if the TS server can now receive
licenses. Thanks.
