Hi there,<br />
We have just installed a new server with Microsoft Server 2008. We also have installed citrix on this server which requires terminal services.<br />
We have a 2003 server that has Terminal Services Licensing however this new 2008 server will not communicate with the 2003 tsl server because it is incompatible. Does this mean we have to purchase 2008 Terminal Services Cals or can I install TSL on server 2008 to get it to work?<br />
Sorry if I am unclear but this licensing guff confuses the hell out of me...
