Removing TS 2003 Licensing Packs

[Guest Morne]

Migrated from 2000 to 2003 some time ago. TS 2000 licenses now on the license

server along with newly registered TS 2003 license packs. Can anyone please

tel me how I can remove the TS 2000 licenses from the 2003 license server?

Thanks.

You cannot remove installed licenses from a TS Licensing Server,

other than by wiping the LS database and starting all over again.

That would mean that you would have to call the Clearinghouse to get

your 2003 license pack re-issued.

I'd just let those W2K licenses be, they can't harm you.

Thanks Vera

 

However I have installed a Volume Licenced Office 2007 on the TS and now get

the message "This copy of Microsoft Office cannot be used on Terminal Server"

when attempting to open the application. Do you believe this to be due to the

2000 licenses on the Terminal Server since I have not seen a compatibility

list indicating problems with Office 2007 and Terminal Server 2003. Office

2003 worked fine before. I appreciate your help.

Hi Morne,

 

Please make certain that you are using installation media that

is clearly marked as an Office 2007 volume license version and

a matching volume license Product Key (usually obtained from

the eOpen site).

 

You will need to uninstall the version of Office 2007 that you

currently have installed.

 

Thanks.

As addition: here's the KB article which documents the problem:

 

924622 - Error message when you try to start a 2007 Office program

within a Terminal Server client session: "This copy of Microsoft

Office <Program> cannot be used on Terminal Server"
