Terminal Services Licensing

Actually Windows 2000 machines have there own WTS license. If you call Microsoft to regain a lost license from a machine they will re-issue you another one after they confirm you have a valid license.

We are running into the same problem. What we ahve found out so far is that MS will only do this once per license.

If you do find anything out send me an E-mail we are very interested in resolving this issue. rkuykendall@benatec-iba.com.

I also will keep an eye out and if I hear of anything I will let you know.

and to make matters worse - after your initial licenses are handed out, Terminal Server distributes Temporary Licenses which are only good for 90 days and when they terminate, the user is denied access. Again, it is an issue of releasing those licenses. We are in the midst of this now and will update you when we get more info. We will end up migrating desktops to 2000 in the near future, but for remote access this is still an issue as most users don't have Win2K on their personal desktops. Hadnot heard about Microsoft only wanting to reset the licenses once. . . how do they expect us to handle machines that are taken out of service and replaced?
