Licenses are certificates and activating the license server turns it
into a CA.

In the TS Licensing Console, just select the server and click
"Activate". Takes about 5 seconds. Not sure exactly what "activating"
does, but it's necessary (maybe activation is what "announces" the
license server in the domain or something .. I dunno).

Thanks for the responses and clarification. What does the
activation of the licensing server involve?

No MS says Per User will be tracked but not enforced. Per
Device is both tracked and enforced. Just a clarification.

The per-user licensing for Windows 2003 TS CAL's is not
tracked .. in other words, the "honor system". MS claims this tracking
will come with Longhorn SP1.
Per-device CAL tracking has always been tracked.
Most people are picking per-user. :)
Regardless, you still MUST have an ACTIVATED 2003
Terminal Services Licensing server running, regardless of what type of
CALs you use.

Subject: [THIN] W2K Terminal Server Licensing
Hi there everyone, I am installing my first W2k3
Terminal server. I have read that I need a w2k3 terminal server
licensing server. However I am told (by a reseller) that the licensing
scheme works on the "honor" system. Everything that I have read tells
me that this isn't true. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
thanks very much.
Jonathan
