I have W2K server with terminal services installed. There is a problem with licencing and clients are not able to connect. In event viewer there are following errors:

Event 39:Can't generate new public/private keys because of error 'Can't acquireCrypt Context, error 80090020.
Event 37: Can't start Terminal Services Licensing because of error 'Can't initialize Cryptographic - error code 80090020.
Event 7042: The Terminal Services Licensing service terminated with service-specific error 3221291009.
Any ideas?

Looks like you have a licensing issue.
There are four license types: 1. Terminal Service Client Access: (five pack is $749.)
2. Terminal Service Internet Connector, TSICL: (allow 200 anonymous internet connections via terminal service thru internet, $9,999.doesnot allow dialup access for home users.)3. Built-In license for Windows 2000 Pro. cannot move this from one pc to another.
4. Temporary license. Is when the licensed server requests a license and the server has none to give. (Maybe youhaven't installed the license pack yet.)
Finally, Terminal Services Licensing should be installed.
Hope this helps, as you did not specify the clients you have.

If you did not enable the license server within 90 days after enabling the terminal services, the terminal services will fail to operate.
