Windows Server Forum / Windows NT / Terminal Server / February 2004Terminal Services Cal's expired and locked out.
I have a 5 user copy of Win2k3 Server. I had installed and have been using TemSvcs for about 8-9 months. This weekend, I tried to access the server via TS and received an error that the licenses had expired and to contact the admin (which is me!!). I logged on directly to the server and then the TS License Mgr. The license applet came up but showed the server as diabled. I enabled it and it asked to activate licenses. First of all, shouldn't this OS come with 5 Cals for TS? If so, how do I tell it to use those? If the OS does not come with Cals, I read where copies of WinXP should be able to create CALs. I can't figure out how to get the cal for my WinXP license access to my Win2k3 server. I looked at the docs mentioned in several posts, but I could not find anything that said how to get the CAL. Can someone please walk be through it?  SignatureJoel Zinn Sr IT Architect American Electric Power duplicate post. see my reply in this newsgroup. Additional info / questions: Did you install and activate a Licensing Server? It sounds as if the grace period of the TS has ended (120 days). The 5 CALs that came with the server are most likely server CALs, not TS CALs.

Can > someone please walk be through it? I could not find the post you mentioned. The licensing server is installed. All I really need to do is manage the server remotely. Is this the best way to do it? Also, what about the cals that are available with WinXP? I saw info on obtaining them, but could not figure out how to do so...

I entered them and got the following error message: License Code Request Failed Sorry, your request for Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server CAL tokens could not be processed. No explanation as to why or what to do next. What do I do now?

No, if Remote Administration is all you want, you are on the wrong track altogether! Uninstall Terminal Services, configure Remote Desktop for Administration (System - Properties - Remote), and forget all about TS Licensing. You will get a maximum of 2 concurrent connections + 1 to the server console, by default for Administrators only. Is that what you want? -- Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server http://hem.fyristorg.com/vera/IT --- please respond in newsgroup, NOT by private email --- > I just followed the link on entering my XP license keys.
