Support WebCast: Microsoft Windows 2000 Terminal Server Licensing
Description and Troubleshooting
March 15, 2001
"...A frequent question that we're asked is where exactly do I need to
install the Terminal Server licensing (slide 6)? And the answer for that
depends on the environment that our customers are in. If there's a
Windows 2000 Terminal Server in a Windows NT 4.0 domain, then the
Terminal Server Licensing service can be installed on a Windows 2000
member server. In fact, that would be required, because if you have a
Windows 2000 domain controller, then you are in a Windows 2000 domain.
In a Windows 2000 domain, this is required to be installed on a Windows
2000 domain controller. There's no restriction in the installation
Terminal Services License services themselves, but the service will fail
to start unless the machine is the domain controller in a Windows 2000
domain..."
Eval versions offer a slightly relaxed license model until you go into
production/expire @ 90 days.
Where did you install the license server?
What do your logs say?

On a win2k server, the TS Cals must be installed on a DC I believe. Even
still, this shouldn't be the case, because you can connect 15 pcs for 90
days from temporary licenses. Sounds like something else is wrong. Check
that the users can connect with TS in AD, and check configuration for
ports etc etc. I havent seen that before

A possibility, but upon checking, NOPE, it is in Application Server
Mode.
Any other ideas?

It sounds like you installed Terminal Services in the Administrative
mode rather than the Application Server mode.
