Switch from "Remote Desktop for Admin" to 5-user CAL

[jembow]

Hello:

I cannot switch out of "Remote Desktop for Administration" mode. . Even though i have a 5-user CAL installed, i am limited to 2-users by Admin Mode.

I go to Terminal Services Configuration->Server Settings->Licensing Mode" and the only option in the drop-down is "Remote Desktop for Administration".

If I go to Group Policy Editor->Computer Config->Admin Templates->Terminal Services->Licensing" and disable "Allow users to connect remotely via Terminal Services", then i'm down to 1 connection.

In the Terminal Services Licensing application, I have a 5-pack "TS Per User CAL" installed. The columns read as follows:

Type: Open
Total: 5
Available: 5
Issued: 0

(NOTE: it also shows "Existing Windows 2000 Server" - Type: Open - Total: Unlimited - Available Unlimited - Issued 0. I don't know if this needs to be uninstalled or is causing interference.)

How do I get it to recognize the 5-user Cal?

TIA,
-John

I did (but after the licensing server). I went into services and it's Status is "Started" but the start|pause|stop buttons are all grey'ed out...
