I don't think you need to deactivate the old one, although why run an extra
service when it is not needed? It's just another avenue for resource
usage, attack, etc. I would remove it once you verify that licenses are
being handed out by the new server.. Did you run LSVIEW? Did it return
any results? If it did and the servers are still not seeing the license
server, you can run the regedits that MS has in a few tech articles to
force discovery. I wouldn't call it "discovery" at that point since you've
pretty much told it where to go.
One other thing to keep in mind: If licenses aren't expired and no new
clients/users are on the system, no licenses are going to get handed out.
TS CAL licenses are either per user or per device, not per server. If you
are per user, create a new account and logon with it to see if it gets a
license. If you are per device, find a computer that does not logged into
TS and use it to connect to see if it gets a license.
As was mentioned in another post by Steve R., W2K3 TS servers like to see
the licensing service on a DC. That's its normal state and it requires
some regediting to override that behavior.

Right now all of the TS servers are 2000 SP4, but obviously anything new
will be 2003 or above. Every client I've looked at so far still says it
got it's license from my old licensing server and in the licensing
manager the new server has not issued any licenses.
I'm just wondering if I missed a step or something. My old server is
deactivated, do I need to uninstall it?
Thanks,
George

Just out of curiosity, what OS do your TS servers run?
The TS servers do an AD lookup to find out where the TS license server
is.
Run a utililty called LSVIEW to do the lookup.If it's not part of the
OS, it may be part of the resource kit. It should come back with the
name of the license server and the type (domain, enterprise, etc). If
it can't find any, you may need to edit come objects in AD. I had to do
this when I upgraded to 2003. It's been so long that I don't remember
where in AD to go, but I found the info on an MS technet article.
Someone on this list also gave me the info so you may be able to search
the list archives for it.

A short while ago I moved our TS Licensing server from a 2000 SP4 domain
controller to a 2003 SP1 member server. I worked on the phone with
Microsoft and everything seemed to activate just fine, I have the
unlimited "Existing Windows 2000 Server" CALs and 1400 Windows 2000
server CALs. However, it doesn't seem to be issueing any licenses. I
read the following in a white paper, am I missing a step, I'm not sure
what they mean by that step.
......
3. Ensure that the new license server is discoverable by your
terminal servers. For example, if you previously configured your
terminal servers to request tokens from the old license server, you need
to modify them to request tokens from the new license server.
