Hi All,

I have a WS03 Terminal Server, who constantly gives
me this error message:

The terminal server cannot issue a client license.
It was unable to issue the license due to a changed
(mismatched) client license, insufficient memory,
or an internal error. Further details for this
problem may have been reported at the client's computer.


I click on the bubble and it brings up tscc (Terminal
Services Configuration\Connections). Everything is
okay. I can not find anything wrong.

Anyone know who to get rid of this message?

Many thanks,
-T

By any chance do you have a TS Licencing Server installed?
Thanks
Soo Kuan

How do I check and see?

The error message that you get seems to indicate that you *do* have a
TS Licensing Server (otherwise it would complain about not finding
one, rather than complain about issueing problems).

Start the Terminal Services Licensing Manager (under Administrative
Tools). If it connects to a TS LS, check which licenses you have
available. Did you buy and install any TS CALs? All connecting
clients needs one.

Hi Vera,

Figured it out. The license server was not this computer. It was
the old 2000 server that is to be retired. So into add/remove programs
and I added the 2003 ts license server and after 30 minutes on the
phone with M$ Licensing to downgrade from 2008 to 2003 and do a
telephone activation, happy camping has returned.

I appreciate you guys jogging me brain into figuring this out!

Many thanks,
-T
