Licensing Question

[Guest tarasan]

We are currently running Windows TS 2000 on a Windows 2000 DC. From my

understanding as long as you have a W2K or XP Pro machine you have a license.

My question is if we upgrade our DC to a Windows 2003 but still run a Windows

TS 2000 how does that affect licensing?

Licensing will work the same. On your new 2003 DC

install TS Licensing server and activate it. It will issue

TS CALs from the free pool to the w2k and XP Pro

machines that connect to your 2000 TS.

You will need 2003 server CALs for every client or user (not TS

CALs), since you are going to be authenticated by a 2003 DC.

I checked today with Microsoft and they said that the licensing would still

be the same even with the 2003 upgrade in that Windows XP Pro and W2K

Professional would include a license. Can someone confirm? Thanks.

Re: Licensing Question

 

You're talking about TS CALs, I assume?

Yes, as TP wrote, as long as your Terminal Server runs W2K and you

only upgrade the DC, then your XP Pro and W2K Pro clients will still

receive a free TS CAL from the TS Licensing Server (note that the

clients themselves do *not* come with a built-in license, they get

one from the built-in pool of "Existing Windows 2000 TS CALs on the

LS).

 

I only wanted to point out that you need a 2003 server CAL for each

client, since you are upgrading the DC and your clients will contact

the DC for authentication.
