You can find the product key on the retail packaging or on the Certificate Of Authenticity COA sticker on the computer case. To obtain a transitional CAL license, follow these steps:. In the License Type list, click the type of license that you want to obtain, type your e-mail address in the eMail Address box, and then click Next.
In the Terminal Server Licensing utility, enter the license token s that you received. You can enter license tokens by using the Automatic connection recommended option, the Web Browser connection option, or the Telephone connection option. When you deploy Windows Server Terminal Services in a Windows domain, you have the following licensing options:.
Windows Server based terminal servers can automatically discover a Terminal Server License Server that is installed on a member server that is running Windows Server and that is configured as an Enterprise License Server in the Active Directory directory services site. If the Windows Server based Terminal Server License Server is a domain license server, you must modify the registry on each of your Windows Server based terminal servers so that they can discover a compatible license server.
You must configure the registry settings on Windows based and Windows Server based terminal servers that are running in application mode so that they can discover the license server that issues the Windows or Windows Server TS CALs.
Do not contact Microsoft Clearinghouse if you have difficulty obtaining a TS CAL through the discovery process or for other issues that require troubleshooting of the operating system. Microsoft PSS and Microsoft Clearinghouse cannot help you to locate your licensing purchase agreement or authorization number s to install license key packages.
The Windows version of Terminal Services worked really well, but required the terminal server to have a tremendous amount of resources. Each session really consumed a lot of network bandwidth. This allows Terminal Service sessions to be more responsive to the users and to use a lot less bandwidth.
In fact, although I have never tried it personally, I have a friend who swears that accessing his Terminal Server over a 56 Kbps modem is almost as good as accessing the server through a local Ethernet connection. There are some other improvements as well. Unlike the Windows version of Terminal Services, the Windows version now supports transmitting sound. The Windows version also supports greater color depth than its predecessors.
For example, imagine that you got a phone call from a user who was having trouble locating a specific document on the network. Having Terminal Services running by default just seemed like a security risk if an organization was not planning on using them.
Activating Terminal Services involves assigning a role to the server. When you do, you will see the Manage Your Server dialog box. After the machine has booted and you logon, you are presented with a confirmation screen that states the computer is now a terminal server. It is important to take note that a day evaluation period has been allocated for unlicensed clients.
If you do not obtain a license within that period then terminal services clients will no longer be able to initiate a session. This is probably where the most changes have been made. To make your machine a terminal server license server you will have to install it separately. Once you have installed this option your server will be listed in the terminal server licensing console.
You will have to activate the server before it can start distributing licenses. Activation of the licensing server can be done via a direct connection to the internet, a web browser or over the telephone. The following is a screenshot of the terminal server licensing console demonstrating what you would have to do to start the activation process. This will bring up a wizard asking you to enter details and select options to suite your needs.
Follow the on screen instructions and press Finish when you are done. They can both be found in the administrative tools folder in control panel or on the start menu. When you select the server name you can choose to view and manage the Users, Sessions or Processes tab. The green icons indicate that the server is online.
If you had to disconnect it, the icons would be gray. The Users tab allows you to see who is connected, how long they have been connected and the state of their connection. The Sessions tab permits the viewing and control of the terminal server sessions.
You can right click a session and select the status to see the incoming and outgoing data or reset to reset the session. The processes tab shows all the processes that are running and which user they belong to this is a simplified version of the processes tab found on the windows task manager.
