You have to match what you dowonloaded from Microsoft. If you downloaded per device Cals then you need to set per device cal on your Terminal Server. Same goes for per user. If you want to change from per device to per user cals you need to have the TS Cals reallocated from Microsoft clearing house and reinstalled on license server.

Do I just change that one from "Per Device" to "Per User" and I'm good? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2008 2:42 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: terminal server A license server can support both per user and per device, however, I would choose one or the other to save your sanity and keep things consistant. Also a license server can support both Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 TS cals. You can change your license one time to per user or device. The TS license server on the DC is the preferred method. Why would you want to change to per device instead of using per user?

I have 4 Terminal Servers, 2 are load balancing and the other two are supporting different applications each. 2. 3 are configured "Per User" and the fourth (the one in question) is "Per Device. 3. My Licensing Server shows Type Total Available Issued Existing Windows 2000 License built-in unlim unlim 19 Temp Lic. Serv 2003 Per Device CAL Temp - - 15 2000 Server CAL Per Device Open 3 3 0 2000 Server CAL Per Device Open 3 3 0 2000 Server CAL Per Device Open 3 3 0 2000 TS Client Access License Open 1 1 0 2003 TS Per User CAL Open 25 25 N/A Can a Licensing Server only support one type of CAL, per user or per device? Is that why it shows N/A for number of "per user" cals issued? Do I just need to change from "per device" to "per user" on the fourth TS? If so are my "per user CALs" useless? I haven't confirmed yet if the 25 CALs are actually User CALs or not, but if so and I wanted Device CALs can they be exchanged? My Licensing Server is my DC, not one of the TS's. Most of my users have XP, but a few 2000 and Thin Clients. I have closer to 60 users who access these TS's. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2008 11:41 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: terminal server I believe you are allowed a one time change to per user. The advantage of per user is that the cals are not tracked and you don't have to deal with all the nonsense of licenses being stored in the users registry and having to return licenses to the pool after 90 days.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2008 08:14:33 -0700 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: terminal server Sounds like your TS server is in per-device mode but your owned licenses are per-user. OR, you purchased per-device licenses and when the TS licenses were installed, the wrong type was picked. You really need to know what kind of licenses you're supposed to have first and get that sorted. On your TS, launch Terminal services configuration, look in the Server Settings node at Licensing to see what mode the server is set to. I seem to remember there might be an issue with switching this one way (as in, you change it and it can't be changed back), so be careful and google it first-maybe someone else can jump in if they know the answer on that. -Bonnie From: Paul Everett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2008 10:50 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: terminal server On my Licensing Server it shows that I have 25 "2003 per user" cals available, and it's showing 15 temporary "2003 per device" cals. The temporary cals expire next week. I'm so confused with this, I think I screwed something up. Can I get some advice? Paul Everett IS Dept.
