Applying/Activating a 5 CAL Terminal Services Licence on a Windows 2003 Server
Hello all
I have a client running Server 2003 and he has purchased a 5 Cal terminal Server Licence (Part Number R19-00133). After purchasing he was emailed a 15 digit Licence Authorisation Number beginning with 6180…. And an 8 digit Licence Number beginning with 41……..
I am struggling to understand how this can be applied to the Windows 2003 Server to allow the 5 remote users to connect concurrently. Can anyone advise with step by step instructions?
Thanks in advanve

Thanks for that PeteLong.
I have tried that but get the message "No terminal server licence server is available on the current domain or workgroup. To connect to another licence server, click action, click connect and then type the server name." .
The server name is server2k3, and I have added the role of Terminal Server in "Manage your server". Can you suggest any method of resolving this...Many thanks

OK - Get yourself a Microsoft .Net Passport - go to their eOpen web site - log in with your passport - Add your agreement number and your licence number - the licences will be activated - then you will get a traditional 25 number/letter unlock code which you can tap in - or you can licence the TS directly from the eOpen (its one of the options)
open the temrinal services licencinf snap in
1. Right Click the Server-name > Install Licences
2. Next > Select the correct Licence Program (If its eOpen Select Open Licence).
3. Next > Type in the Authorisation number and Licence Number.
4. Follow the onscreen prompts till finish.
