Guest Francois Colpron Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Hi. We have a Windows 2003 Terminal Server running with two licence packs: a Windows 2000 built-in per device pack and a Windows 2003 retail per user pack. Our TS Clients connect from Mac OS X running the Microsoft RDP Client. All licences are taken from the Windows 2000 built-in per device pack. We found out that the Windows 2000 built-in is not supposed to be installed and we rather use the Windows 2003 retail licences. However, we didn't find a way to remove this licences. Is there a way to remove a group of Terminal Server licences? Thanks
Guest Munindra Das [MSFT] Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Re: Remove Licence Pack Unfortunately, I do not think there is an easy way to remove the license pack. The only way I am aware of is to deactive and reactivate your license server. -- Thanks! This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Guest Saylrman64 Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 RE: Remove Licence Pack Hi Francois, I have a similar issue as you and had found a paper on TehcNet telling how to solve it but did not book mark it. I came across your post while I was looking for that white paper. It tells how to delete the terminal server license DB and then replace it with the original form the CD. If you find it shoot me a link. Thanks.

Guest Vera Noest [MVP] Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 RE: Remove Licence Pack Here's the article which explains how to start with a fresh licensing database: 273566 - How to rebuild Windows 2000 and 2003 Terminal Services Licensing database http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=273566 But this won't help Francois, since the Windows 2000 built-in licenses are built-in (hence the name :-), s a fresh database will again contain these licenses. Shouldn't be any problem, though, since they will only be used when connecting to a W2K TS, not to a 2003 TS. _________________________________________________________ Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net ___ please respond in newsgroup, NOT by private email ___ =?Utf-8?B?U2F5bHJtYW42NA==?= <Saylrman64@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote on 02 jul 2008 in microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services: > Hi Francois, > I have a similar issue as you and had found a paper on TehcNet > telling how to solve it but did not book mark it. > I came across your post while I was looking for that white > paper.
