I think I found a part of the answer :

Excerpt of "Microsoft Windows 2000 Terminal Services" whitepaper

"Note: In determining the location of a License server, discoverability
is the most critical factor. A domain, site, or workgroup hosting
terminal servers must also host a license server. For most applications,
it is suggested that each terminal server have at least two discoverable
license servers to ensure high availability.  The primary license server
should be activated and have sufficient quantities of license tokens
installed.  The secondary license server should be activated, but should
not have any license tokens installed.  Using this model, the secondary
license server will be able to issue temporary tokens to clients without
license tokens and built-in tokens to clients running Windows 2000
Professional (or Windows XP Professional) if the the primary license
server is unavailable.
Once a terminal server has discovered a license server it will continue
to use that as long as it is available. The terminal server will
communicate with its default license server once every 2 hours to assure
it is still present. If it cannot find the default license server, the
terminal server will seek another license server.
Terminal Services Licensing only runs on Windows 2000 servers and only
manages license tokens for Windows 2000 Terminal Services. It does not
manage or communicate with terminal servers running Windows NT Server
4.0, Terminal Server Edition or Windows .NET Server."

Hello list,

Windows 2000 domain native mode
2 DC
10 Metaframe FR2

I would like to provide fault-tolerence for terminal services licensing
by configuring TWO (or more) DC with Terminal Services Licensing service
running. Is there a kind of "replication" of licenses between the two
servers or do I still have a single point of failure ?

Not sure if I'm clear...

thanks
