2008 TS Licenses on 2003 domain

[Guest Rob]

I have a 2003 domain and 2 2008 terminal servers. Right now, we are using 3

different servers for licensing. I want to set up one of my domain

controllers as the license server so servers and clients can detect it. Can I

install 2008 TS licenses on a 2003 server? If so, how?

No. You *can*, though install 2003 licenses on a 2008 license server.

No. A Win2k8 terminal server requires a Win2k8 license server. if you

simply put up a Win2k8 license server, it can service Win2k8 and everything

below it (win2k3 and Win2k terminal servers).
