This is a really dumb question, but what's the format I use to type in the Connect prompt to set up a Terminal Services licensing server?

I have two Windows 2000 Servers and one is set up as the Terminal Server (application mode) and the other server has the licensing server installed. When I open the main window to the License Server program, it doesn't find a server on it's own and asks me to type in the name. (note that I did not reboot the server after installing the Licensing component). When I go to the server I installed ht Licensing component on and try to connect to it (itself), Windows can't find the licensing server. There is no browse button in the window to type in the name of the server. Do I have to type the actual server name (which is not working) such as SQL, a pathway such as C:\somefolder\someotherfolder, or a network path such as \\Servername\folder etc.... I've tried typing in different things and nothing works.

If you're wondering why I installed the terminal server component on one machine and the licensing server on another, the reseller that built our machines said I can't (or shouldn't) install the license server on the same machine as the terminal server.

Thanks for any help!
