As far as I remember you activate your server through MS License Clearinghouse (over Internet or phone) and then you have 90 days grace period. W2K OS has built-in TS CAL so you do not need to buy licenses for these PCs, XP-I'm not sure -check archives in this list. This question was discussed some time ago. The rest of the clients like W95/98 will use temporary TS CALs until you buy licenses or grace perion expire. Make sure your licensing server is MS SP3 or install this: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/critical/q287687/ Ther is MS whitepaper on W2K TS licensing: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/howitworks/terminal/tslicensin g.asp HTH, Pavlo Ignatusha Systems and Network Coordinator Pembroke General Hospital Tel.

I have a Windows 2000 Terminal Server that I set up a while ago. I know I now need to install Terminal Server Licensing on an AD Domain Controller. However, when I called my lead on this, he says there's something special that we have to do in order to it to assign licenses properly to Win2k Pro and WinXP Pro workstations, so that we need not buy them. Isn't this inherent in TS Licensing server? He referred me to the MSKB, which is notorious about not being able to find what you need when you need it, and of course *I* need it... Our users in the UK are down. Can someone help me out and let me know if I am chasing ghosts? Thanks much, Jennifer Jennifer Hooper Peregrine Systems, Inc.
