Hi James,
 
You need a 2003 TS Licensing server for 2003 TS systems. It can be a member 
server rather than a DC.
 
The DefaultLicenseServer value is for Windows 2000, and 2003 is different and 
uses a LicesServers key with Server name keys under it. Check out the Microsoft 
technote 279561 at:

For the ultimate description of TS licensing see Brian Madden's article:

Or if you want a nice, simple explanation:

Subject: [THIN] TS Licensing issue



Hi All,

 

I have had a Citrix Presentation 3 farm running on Win2K boxes in an NT domain 
for a while.  Today I have moved these boxes to a 2003 domain and made them 
members of it.

 

The Terminal Server Licensing server (also a Win2K server) was moved to the 
same subnet as the Citrix Farm but is now just a member of a workgroup as the 
licensing server service would not start if the server was a member of the 2003 
domain.

 

I can't get the Terminal Servers to find the Terminal Server licensing server.  
They can resolve the NETBIOS name and I have specified the Licensing Server via 
the DefalultLicenseServer reg key but it still doesn't work.

 

It's been a very long day and even longer week and my brain is about to give 
up.  Help!

 

Thanks,

 

James.
