That would be licenses activated before April, 24st. 2003, for automatic
upgrading via their website (see
http://licensecode.one.microsoft.com/transition/ ), while the transition
plan talkes about owned licenses (not necessairly activated in my
opinion).

Yes, that is correct. Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server licenses are
separate from 2000 CALs. 

 

Additionally, Windows XP Professional and Windows 2000 Professional do
not need a license to connect to a Windows 2000 Terminal server in
Application mode, the license is inherent. But in Windows Server 2003
Terminal Server mode, only Windows XP Professional licenses purchased
before April 24, 2003 I believe are eligible for a free license to
Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server mode. Otherwise, a separate Windows
Server 2003 Terminal Services CAL must be obtained.

Hi all...I realize this is not exchange specific...I'm hoping someone
can give me a hand on this though...

 

This office is fairly small....30 or so users

Primary server is our DC - taking care of DNS/DHCP/WINS/File storage et
c

We have a 2003 Member server running terminal services....

 

Mind you I came into this office after the fact of them installing all
of this stuff...

 

I got a report this morning that their temporary terminal service
license is almost expired and proceeded to check the ts licensing on the
2003 server

 

The Windows 2000 server is running the terminal server licensing it
appears and I see an 5 user open license for "Windows 2000 Server -
Terminal Services CAL Token (per-device)"

 

Now I'm assuming this here is the issue since the 2000 server has 2000
CALs installed and not 2003.  Can someone please confirm the validity in
this?  Or are all 2000/2003 ts CALs the same?

 

 

Thank you in advance,

Devin McBride
