RESOLUTION Cause 1: You are trying to install a Windows Server 2008 CAL pack on a Windows Server 2003-based license server A Windows Server 2008-based terminal server cannot communicate with a Windows Server 2003-based Terminal Services licensing server.

You can install the existing Windows Server 2003 terminal server CALs on a Windows Server 2008 licensing server. The Windows Server 2008 licensing server issues CALs to the corresponding terminal servers based on the operating system of the terminal server. For example, if you have both Windows Server 2008-based and Windows Server 2003based terminal servers in the network, a Windows Server 2008-based licensing server issues the correct CAL to each terminal server based on the operating system that the terminal server is running. For help in transferring your terminal server client access licenses from a down-level terminal services licensing server to a Windows Server 2008-based terminal services licensing server, contact the Microsoft Product Activation Group at 1-888-571-2048. The Microsoft Product Activation Group also provides help for the following Terminal Services-related tasks:

• Activate a license server • Install licenses on a license server • Reinstall licenses on a license server • Downgrading licenses
