Windows 2008 Terminal Server License Question

[llevon]

Hello,

I am installing a Windows 2008 Terminal Server into our infrastructure where we already have a Windows 2003 Terminal Services Licensing Server.

Will the 2008 Terminal Server use the 2003 licensing server and exising licenses or do I need to install a new 2008 Licensing Server and purchase new licenses?

Thanks,

Steve

Did you try the Windows 2008 Step by Step Guides. There is one covering TS Licensing

Thanks for the link some useful stuff in there. After wading though shed l.oads of information I came accross the following whic answers the question and would like to share it with everyone else.


"A terminal server running Windows Server 2008 can only communicate with a license server running Windows Server 2008."

TS Licensing in Windows Server 2008 supports terminal servers that run:
• Windows Server 2008
• Windows Server 2003 R2
• Windows Server 2003
• Windows 2000
