2003 Terminal Server Licensing

[Wodill]

I setup Terminal Services and Terminal Services Licensing both on the same
Windows 2003 box. I activated the license over the phone and then also
installed a 100-pack Termianl Serer Per User CAL's.

When I go into Terminal Services Licensing, it shows the server as
activated. It displays the default licensing - Existing Windows 2000 Server
Terminal Services CAL Token (per device), Type is built-in, Total/Available
is Unlimited and Issued is always 0 no matter how many users are connected.

It also shows my added licenses - Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services Per
User CAL Token. For this 100-pack, it displays Type as Volume License, Total
as 100, Available as 100, but then Issued as Not Applicable. I have users
connecting to the server all day long and it never displays that any licenses
are issued. Should I be seeing the issued number change?

I still have about 30 days before my 120-day trial period ends but I want to
make sure that the licensing server will continue to work after the trial
period expires.

Also note that in Terminal Services Configuration I have the license type
set to Per User and I have the License Server Discovery Method set to the
local host.

First rule of TS and TS licencing according to M$ is that you should have your TServer and TS licencing server on two seperate boxes.
