Mike,

Don't know in your situation, but the problem goes away with 2003.  I am
moving to a 2003 AD environment and have been told by Microsoft support
that I can leave my license servers where they are.  The issue seems to be
with 2000 AD.  Did you try hard coding the license server into the
registry.  I have heard people say this is a workaround.

I just upgraded my NT Domain to AD. I have a Win2K TS; this server had been
a member server in my NT domain. After the AD upgrade, the TS Licensing
stopped working, saying it could not locate a license server. Apparently,
the TS Licensing server must run on a DC, when you have an AD domain.
So apparently I need to either DCPromo my TS server, or transfer the TS
licensing service to a DC. Since I only have 1 DC (at the moment; haven't
built another one yet), I figure it's easier to just DCPromo the TS server.
I realize that will cause a reboot, and interrupt my guys; no problem.

My question - will I need to do anything else to get the licensing to work
again? I won't have to re-activate all my licenses all over again, will I?

Any help appreciated.
