Move Licensing Server

[Guest Don Jones]

We are in the process of decomissoning an old server. This server only

functions as a W2K3 Server Terminal Services licensing Server. What is the

proper way to move the Licenses from the Old server to a new server run W2K3

Server TS Licensing Services?

 

Thanks.

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:

* 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 and

uninstall it

Re: Move Licensing Server

 

Thanks for the information, is there a way to retrieve the TS activation

information from the old server? SA Who initially installed the TS License

Server has retired and we can't find the paper work, would the Clearhousing

be able to look our information up and provide us with the activation code?

You should be able to get the information from your Microsoft Licensing

partner. They generally keep records of each and every purchase.

No, you'll have to find the paperwork.

You could try to contact your reseller. Maybe they have a record of

what you bought.
