2008TS in 2003 Domain - Licensing Question

[Guest Stephen Russell]

Hi All,

 

I have searched through recent post here but still unclear in my position of

what to do.

 

I have a Win2k3 domain which has a win2k3 member server that is our TS. The

licenses are stored on another server (our DC). I am playing with Win2008

and have added this server to our domain (as a member server). I wanted to

test out the nifty features of the new TS stuff in 2008 but it is not

letting me use the licenses from our licensing server. From what I have

read this natural as it needs to have 2008 CAL's. BUT, is there anyway I

can test out TS2008 with out having to upgrade the licenses? This is only a

test server and I don't want to stuff up the operational TS Server.

 

Cheers, Stephen
