I am about to upgrade a SBS 2000 environment to a standard Windows 2008 domain using the swing migration process.<br />
<br />
In the current domain there is also a Windows 2003 Terminal Server that is running a core business application. &nbsp;This 2003 server is also the TS license server. &nbsp;When the migration to a standard Windows 2008 Server domain is completed will the existing 2003 Terminal Licensing continue to operate as it is with no licensing upgrades for the Terminal Server itself? &nbsp;At this point there are no plans to upgrade the 2003 server as it is fairly new.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance!
