Licensing Server Question-Where to Install

[Guest compsosinc@gmail.com]

We have a Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition and are getting ready

to install Terminal Server. This file/member server is in a domain

with SBS2000 as the DC (NOT SBS2003). We are reading discrepancy on

where to install the Licensing Server. This is a small (less than 20

PC are currently in the domains) environment. We will be adding

additional 10 PCs/Users that only need to access the Terminal Server.

We purchased (5) 2003 Server CALs and (10) TS-CALs (Per Device).

 

Where should the Licensing Server be installed?

 

Thanks!

DC or the terminal server, it won't really matter.

A 2003 Terminal Server *must* contact a 2003 TS Licensing Server. So

you don't have a choice, you must install the TS Licensing Server on

the 2003 box. And that's not real problem, it can co-exist with the

TS role without problems.

 

Note that TS licensing is *not* concurrent, so you will need a TS CAL

for every user or every client that connects to the TS.

Misread your post, you said SBS2000. The license server must be the

terminal server.
