Terminal Server Licensing Error

TechNet is probably going to be your best bet as I have very basic knowledge of MSTS, I did find another article that might be worth having a look at: http://blogs.technet.com/b/asiasupp...l-server-license-servers.aspx?Redirected=true

 

Office 2019

Only supported on Win10. Sorry, 8.1 users, only 4 years old, gotta go.

Microsoft Office 2019 will only work on Windows 10

Spoiler Office 2019
Last year at Ignite, we announced Office 2019 – the next perpetual version of Office that includes apps (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, and Skype for Business) and servers (including Exchange, SharePoint, and Skype for Business). Today we’re pleased to share the following updates:

• Office 2019 will ship in H2 of 2018. Previews of the new apps and servers will start shipping in the second quarter of 2018.
• Office 2019 apps will be supported on:
  • Any supported Windows 10 SAC release
  • Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2018
  • The next LTSC release of Windows Server
• The Office 2019 client apps will be released with Click-to-Run installation technology only. We will not provide MSI as a deployment methodology for Office 2019 clients. We will continue to provide MSI for Office Server products.

 

Windows Server Terminal Server no longer issues permanent licenses....

First, I understand that Windows 2003 is no longer supported. However the reason for this server is that is runs old software accessed by clients thru Terminal Services. Currently the vendor and client are in negotiations for a new software but need this
to run until that is finished...that being said....

Windows 2003 Terminal server is also a Licensing Server. All purchased licenses are groups of device CALs, (50 Open CALs, 400 Volume CALs, 200 Open CALs, and 8 Open CALs (to total 658 available)). However within the past few months, the pack of 200 Open
CALs has decided to stop issuing licenses to client PCs. They have worked since 2008 but now once a permanent license expires, (say from a PC no longer in use), it goes back into the pool of 200 as available, but is never issued to a client. The other CALs
still function as normal.

Temporary licenses are still being issued, but of course are limited in time (like 90 days), and then we get errors that there are no licenses available on the server and in turn try to run the MSLicensing registry fix which has helped keep us going but
has also failed on some PCs. Which leaves us with clients unable to connect at all.

Questions:

1. Is there some way of "cleaning up" the Licensing database, by resetting, reinstalling, or reactivating just this set of licenses so that they start issuing to clients again?

2. Is it worth trying to upgrade to Windows 2008, and if so, do the TS licenses technically upgrade with them?

I know the overall fix is to get to a newer version of OS and client software, but I have no control over that at present time. Any ideas?
