Thanks for the info Jim. I am moving to W2K3 and MPS 3.0 which I'm setting up in parallel with my old farm. Actually it's already up and running I just need to get off the temp CAL's.

MS's TS licensing model isn't "intelligent" enough to proactivly remove or disable license sets on the fly based on another TS license server coming online. An MS TS license server is either responding to TS license requests for it's domain, or it's not. 2003 TS cals are also different from windows 2000 TS cals. Windows 2003 servers can be setup to hand out both win2k TS cals, and win2k3 TS cals; but windows 2k TS license servers can only support dishing out 2k TS cals. HTH J PS ? your subject post mentions Citrix, but your questions appear primarily focussed on the MS TS cals. As an FYI if you're also looking at going to something like (oh?MPS 3.0) the citrix licensing does of course change, and you need to go through the process of upgrading / consolidating your Citrix licenses on the "my citrix" site. This process also . . won't adversly affect your current Citrix servers in the old domain and their Citrix license assignments. Similar to MS TS licensing, the Citrix licensing engine has no connection back to the "Citrix mothership" so to speak . . so updating your licensing to support MPS 3.0 won't auto deativate the old farm.

I have setup a new 2003 domain with a new farm and installed a licensing server. I've activated the licensing server and it's using temporary licenses. If I choose to install the licenses is it going to remove/disable them from the other licensing server in the other domain?
