I recently upgraded our 2003 sbs to a 2008 sbs.
Terminal server licensing was running on old sbs - how do I get it to
run on 2008 sbs & will licenses still work?

Something is not correct. TS was never allowed on SBS 2003, not since SBS
2000. In SBS 2003 or 2008 you are allowed two RDP connections for administrative
duties, but none for running applications.

You need a separate server for TS in a SBS domain, can be physical or virtual,
but don't run any VM's inside of SBS. If you want to use one box, use Server
2008 as the hyperV host, then virtualize SBS and Server as guests.

Larry,

You missed his point. He is asking about the licensing running on the SBS,
not the actual TS running on it.

"Terminal server licensing was running on old sbs"

I believe that he needs to move the licensing to the TS itself now, as the
SBS 2008 should not be running the TS licensing service. Can't remember
where I read that.

Greg....

thanks, you are right, I blew it.

In the SBS 2008 era it is recommended that the TS licensing be on the TS,
not the SBS.

As long as your terminal server is still on 2003 then you shouldn't need to
upgrade your licences IIRC. I hope you still have your old server around as
you may need to deactivate the licences on it. See:
