was out for a few days.   just wanted to thank you for this quick response 
(John and Mark both)...this is exactly what I was looking for...It feels like 
information on ms licensing is such a grey area at times - it was tough for me 
to make heads from tails of it using the ms site.

Correct, you did not have to activate the license, since with volume licensing 
there is no activation. You have to show proof of purchase by that date.

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
