I am stuck on this problem of not being able to activate the terminal server licensing server after the 90 day grace period has expired. I get an error when I type in a valid activation code that it could not connet to the license server. I have applied a hot fix and SP1 from MicroSoft that was supposed to fix this issue but no luck. Our PDC is a NT 4.0 box and I have configure the W2K box as a member of the domain not a controler or backup controler. Does the PDC need to have license server running on it? Is this a install from the option pack? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

How did You installed the Terminal Server? Is it installed as an Application Server or as Remote Access? If it is Remote Access, You do not have to use the Licensing Service on the Terminal Server. You can switch from one to another by using the AddRemove Software | Windows Components | Terminal Server, remove it as Application and reinstall it as Remote access.

Good luck
