Subject: [THIN] Windows 2003 Licensing Server


We have recently built 6 members servers loaded with Windows 2003 Server
and Citrix Metaframe XP FR3/SP3. All servers joined our existing Win2k
AD domain. At this moment, we are not ready to convert our Win2k AD or
to convert one of our DC to Windows 2003.

My understanding after reading the Microsoft white papers about Windows
2003 TS cal was that I had to setup another TS cal license database on a
Windows 2003 server for client accessing the new 2003 servers. I believe
if I don't do that, after 120 days the client will not be able to
connect anymore.

When I installed the Terminal License component on one of our Windows
2003 member server, it installed ok except that it didn't ask me to
register the server and connect to Microsoft to add license packs. When
I launch the Terminal Licensing Manager, it shows my existing license TS
cal server under Win2k AD. My licensing mode is setup per device.

For those who has a similar setup or have ideas, am I missing something
here ?
