Terminal Server license issue

[albracco]

I have installed terminal services on a Windows 2003 server and wanted to test out a few applications before purchasing licenses. According to what I had read in a Microsoft tech article, I was under the impression that I did not need to install the licensing server yet, that temporary licenses would automatically be available for 120 days. However, when a client trys to connect, we get this error:

The remote session was disconnected because there are no Terminal Server license servers available to provide a license

So does this mean that I do, in fact have to install the licensing server for it to work with the temporary licenses?

TIA,

AL

perhaps the licensing server needs to be installed, but not activated for the temporary licenses to work?

Yes, that was the case.
