Working with Terminal Server Licensing

Click Start, (All) Programs, Administrative Tools, Terminal Server Licensing

to launch the RDP licensing-management utility. You need to install a

Terminal Server License Server only for Terminal Servers configured in

Application Server Mode. Under TS Application Server Mode, clients can

connect to Terminal Servers using temporary TS licenses that get issued to

each client for a maximum of 120 days from the first day of issuance. Owners

of Windows XP Professional clients purchased prior to April 2003 can obtain

Terminal Server 2003 Client Access Licenses through the Microsoft

Terminal Server Activation Clearinghouse. All other clients, including

Windows 9x, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP clients

purchased after April 2003, must have TS Client Access Licenses (TSCALs)

purchased for each of them. Before the 120-day temporary license expires for

the first client to connect to the Terminal Server, you must activate a license

server and install TSCALs for each client that needs to connect to a Terminal

Server.
