I'd WANT to call MS and get re-issues. It's like getting new licenses all over again. If you've had some Windows boxes out there that didn't have internal keys, that are no longer part of your environment, or they got completely reloaded, then you have lost those keys. If you get re-issues, you regain then. I moved from NT domain to AD and we obviously had to call for re-issues. Went from 140 of our TS CALs being used to now only using 19 of them. 99% of our 98 machines had be replaced with XP Pro or 2000 Pro so we are now uses the provided CALs. It's nice to regain those licenses. -----Original Message----- From: Pavlo Ignatusha [mailto:pignatusha@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 10:02 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Restore TS Licensing Server I would suggest clean install and calling MS. I think you can only pull TS licensing back from tape if you restore the whole server. If you want to reistall OS and pull back just licensing server I doubt it is going to work. When you activate TS Licensing server it generates a unique string of characters. I think it will be different from your original one when you reinstall OS. But wait for others to reply. Somebody may have actually tried this. Just my 0.02 cents Pavlo Ignatusha Systems and Network Coordinator Pembroke General Hospital Tel. (613) 732-3675 ext.6150 Fax.

Anyone know what the best path to restore is? Should I just clean reinstall and call MS to reactivate new licenses or try to pull from tape?
