Temporary Licenses. When a terminal server running Windows Server 2003 requests a Windows Server 2003 Per Device TS CAL token, or when a terminal server running Windows 2000 requests a Windows 2000 TS CAL token, and the license server has none to give, it will issue a temporary token to the connecting client (if the client device has no existing token). The license server tracks the issuance and expiration of these. These temporary tokens are designed to allow ample time for the administrator to install license tokens on the license server. They are not designed to provide for a period of “free” access to the terminal server. Per the Windows Server EULA, licenses are required to be purchased to access a terminal server. There is no provision in the EULA for accessing a terminal server without the appropriate licenses.
Important
Although it is possible to install all the preceding license token types on a terminal server running Windows Server 2003, the token types for Windows 2000 are only valid for use by clients connecting to a terminal server running Windows 2000. Windows Server 2003 tokens are required for connecting to a terminal server running Windows Server 2003.
