I have a terminal server which is running on win2k Advanced server (set up as an application)and a terminal license server on a reg. win2K server (Domain Controller). The problem I have is one of the workstations cannot connect to the term. server after a HD crash (win98). The error message was "Because of a network error the session will be disconnected". Then I checked the error message on the term. server event viewer, it said "The Terminal Server cannot issue a client license" and "The terminal services could not locate a license server, ....." Both the term. server and the license server have been patched with the license enhancement hotfix. I have also checked on the license server Terminal Services Licensing that we still have 10 available. Any idea what's wrong please help.

did you patch it BEFORE distributing the licenses? there is a license re-issuance issue which the hotfix is supposed to fix but it needs it to be installed first before any license issuance takes place. the automatic license re-issuance logic activates to tokens issued after applying the hotfix.

read knowledge base article Q287687 for more details.

if you issued the licences before applying the hotfix, the only way to recover the lost TS CAL token is to call the nearest Microsoft Clearing house.

I did patched before re-issuing the license. Anyway, I have already solved the problem myself. Thanks
