That's an interesting idea.

The terminal server licensing server is normally automatically discovered.  
However you can set a specific licensing server with a registry key.  So it MAY 
be possible to run two.

However you are probably better off just moving to user cal's by the sounds of 
things.  The bonus is that Win2k3 doesn't actually keep a track of user cals.  
So if you do run out, things will keep going which gives you time to purchase 
more CALS.

With MS licensing options like True up it's probably not the worst thing in the 
world to be a bit short on user cals every now and again.

Subject: TS Licensing

We use TS extensively, we have less than 200 employees, 50+ that don't use 
computers at all.  We have 70 TS CAL's and have had trouble running short on 
those.  Up to this point we have purchased "device" CAL's and are thinking we 
might  be better off adding "user" CAL's?  Nothing fancy, all our servers are 
W2k3 SP2 and our clients are XP Pro.  Everything works, we are just running out 
of licenses.  Wondering if anyone out there has 2 licenses servers up so they 
can run both types and how does that work for you(if it is even possible to do 
on one network??)  (yes, we have 25 temporary licenses, those are plumb full as 
well)

thanks for any help.
