See my reply from today in "RE: Server 08' in an '03 domain...no CAL's?"-we just did something like this. WS08 will run WS03 licenses, but not the other way around. Had to call the clearinghouse, got hung up on after the first 10 minutes (make sure they have your callback number first) and then spent the next 30 calling back and getting all the licenses transferred. Had to have all of the paperwork that includes enrollment numbers, numbers of licenses, and which mode they needed to be in (we have some device and some user).
Some of our older ones are SA and the new ones are Open. Even on the SA ones, I *think* there might be an upgrade cost on TS licenses though-you might check that part. We just kept ours at WS03 and are going to look into that part later. BTW, any reason you aren't going WS08 R2 on TS6 (probably would be RDS6)? Then you don't have to do it again later. -Bonnie From: Eldridge, Dave [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, November 05, 2009 1:00 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: consolidating 2003 TS to 2008 Looking for some advice on consolidating my TS setup. Current: TS1 2003 25 standalone user licenses TS2 2003 20 standalone user licenses TS3 2003 license server with 25 user licenses TS4 2003 using TS3 for 25 user licensing TS5 2003 10 standalone user licenses All of these licenses are SA and upgradable to 2008. I would like to consolidate TS1,2,5 on to a new enterprise 2008 TS (TS6) and make it my license server for everything instead of TS3. I assume I will have to get the clearinghouse involved to release and reissue the current standalone licenses to the license server? Correct? Can the new 2008 TS manage 2003 TS licenses?
