2 Licensing servers

[Tom]

hello all,

A little question:
Can 2 license servers (2000 and 2003 TS Lic server) exist in the same
network without problems ?
Will the 2000 TS servers contact the 2000 Lic server and the 2003TS
server contact the 2003 Lic servers, or will they both go to the 2003
License server.


Thanks in advance

Tom

Yes, they can co-exist, but I'm not sure why you want to do this.
I would consolidate the servers into one Windows 2003 LS (or 2 if
you want redundancy).

If you want to be sure which TS uses which LS, you can hardcode
that in the registry of each TS.

Recommaned reading (contains many examples about mixed W2K / 2003
TS Licensing Servers):
