Guest Vera Noest [MVP] Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Re: Move Terminal Services license to another server From http://ts.veranoest.net/ts_faq_licensing.htm#move_LS Q: How do I move my TS licenses to a new TS Licensing Server? A: Here are the steps to move your TS CALs from one TS Licensing Server to another: 1. install the Terminal Server Licensing component on the new server 2. activate the TS Licensing Server on the new server 3. install your TS CALs on the new server. Since licenses cannot be installed more than once, you will have to call the Microsoft Clearinghouse. They will re-issue your licenses for installation on the new server. * make sure that you have all the paperwork for the licenses at hand (purchase contracts, licensing agreements, etc) * start the Terminal Services Licensing tool, right-click the server, choose Properties, choose "Telephone" on the "Connection Metod" tab, choose your country or region, click "OK". Right-click the server again, choose "Install licenses", click "Next". * call the regional Clearinghouse telephone number; they will guide you through the rest of the installation process 4. verify that your Terminal Server(s) can locate the new TS Licensing Server 5. deactivate the TS Licensing Server on the old server an uninstall it _________________________________________________________ Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net *----------- Please reply in newsgroup -------------* =?Utf-8?B?SGFyb29uIE1hbGlr?= <HaroonMalik@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote on 14 aug 2007: > Dear All, > > I want to move my terminal server licenses to a new server.

Guest Toyin ogunmefun Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Re: Move Terminal Services license to another server I have setup the new TS license server and in the process of activating it and installing the CAL pack. Please confirm, if one de-activate the old TS Lic server before continue with the process or not. I finally completed the activation and generaion of the CAL ID pack on the web. I then input the the server ID which was accept but the wizard did not accept the CAL ID pack.Also, the de-activate option on the two servers (old & new TS Lic was greyed out) Please can you outline the steps left with activating and transfering CAL ID pack & the license role to the new server.

Guest Vera Noest [MVP] Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Re: Move Terminal Services license to another server I would certainly *not* deactivate the old server until you are completely satisfied that the new server is activated, has your licenses installed, can be located by your TS and is issueing licenses. This is reflected in the sequence of actions in my previous post. And as I wrote, you need to call the Clearinghouse to guide you through the installation of your TS CAL pack. If your licenses have been used before (been installed on the old server), you cannot install them on the new server without the assistance of the Clearinghouse. _________________________________________________________ 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?VG95aW4gb2d1bm1lZnVu?= <Toyinogunmefun@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote on 23 aug 2007 in microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services: > I have setup the new TS license server and in the process of > activating it and installing the CAL pack. > > Please confirm, if one de-activate the old TS Lic server before > continue with the process or not. > > I finally completed the activation and generaion of the CAL ID > pack on the web. > I then input the the server ID which was accept but the wizard > did not accept the CAL ID pack.Also, the de-activate option on > the two servers (old & new TS Lic was greyed out) > Please can you outline the steps left with activating and > transfering CAL ID pack & the license role to the new server. > > Thx in advance > > Toyin > > "Vera Noest [MVP]" wrote: > >> From >> http://ts.veranoest.net/ts_faq_licensing.htm#move_LS >> >> Q: How do I move my TS licenses to a new TS Licensing Server? >> >> A: Here are the steps to move your TS CALs from one TS >> Licensing Server to another: >> >> 1. install the Terminal Server Licensing component on the new >> server >> 2. activate the TS Licensing Server on the new server >> 3. install your TS CALs on the new server.
