Windows 2003 Terminal server cannot connect to license server

September 18, 2007

Pls. I need urgent help!!

I have two Windows 2003 SP2 terminal server running.

Unfortunately these servers do no longer receive licenses from the terminal

service license server. We have AD in place and Terminal servers and the

license server are in another subnet. Connection works on technical base

(TCP/IP ok, authority ok and all these stuff) As I open the terminal server

license consol and try to connect to license server manually I receive the

message, that there is no valid license server availabel in workgroup or

Domain. The license server itself response, but not the service. (Server is

not a valid license server).

I have no idea what to do

reinstall terminal service had not worked.

My colleages who were responsible for the license server said, that

everything is fine on that server.

Can anyone help??

Thanks in advance

Does the Licensing Server also run 2003?

Try pointing the TS to the LS:

279561 - How to Override the License Server Discovery Process in

Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=279561

You can also configure this in the Terminal Services Configuration

tool or in a GPO.

Thanks for your response.

Yes, I did it, but with no success.

The server itself could be found, but not as a valid license server.
