Migrate CAL's Terminal Licensing to Another TS Server on New Domain

Hi
I have Terminal Server Licensing with Windows Server 2003 on OLD forest (tsserver.fortestold), on new forest I have Terminal Server Licensing with Windows Server 2003 Installed (tsserver.fortestnew).
I want to migrate my CAL licenses from the old
Terminal Server (tsserver.fortestold) to the new Terminal Server
on tsserver.fortestnew). My clients work 7x24
365 days of year.
My question is how to migrate my licenses
to the new TS server without disconnecting
my clients?
Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Initially what’s your new Server OS, where you have to transfer your CAL License?
Is the same as server 2003 or some other OS?
For the migration step, initially you need to install the License role on target server, activate the target license server, call the MS Clearing house with all the license related documents on hand, explain him the whole scenario of your’s ad they will help
to migrate the server. Also need to deactivate the source license server.
If you have different version of CAL\Licneses then need to upgrade\purchase accordingly.

Move Terminal server licenses to another server

We have one terminal server VM hosted in hyper v server. currently there is a problem with the hyper v server hdd and we might need to rebuild the whole server. We would like to setup a new terminal server on a new server. The existing terminal server is
windows server 2003. After I fresh setup the Windows server 2003 VM in a new server, how do I move the terminal server license to a new server? FYI, we would like to decommission the old terminal server. But we would like to do it in parallel as there are
many users are still accessing to the old terminal server.
Thanks so much.
Regards,
Henry

Hi Henry,
First you need to gather your licensing paperwork, authorization number(s), license number(s), etc. for your existing licenses. This step is critical.
Next install RD Licensing on the replacement 2003 server, Activate it using Terminal Server Licensing (licmgr.exe), then install the TS CALs. If you receive an error when installing the old TS CALs please contact the Clearinghouse and explain
to them you need to install the TS CALs on a new server because the old one is being decommissioned.

Once you have confirmed that the old TS CALs are installed on the replacement 2003 TS then make sure your 2003 TS is set to the correct Licensing mode (to match the type of TS CALs) and you have Specified the name of the new RD Licensing server.
You do this in Terminal Services Configuration (tscc.msc) on the replacement terminal server.
As an alternative you could install the existing TS CALs on a newer RD Licensing server such as Server 2008 R2, Server 2012, etc. You still will need to have the authorization number(s), license number(s), etc. for the existing 2003 TS CALs.

Terminal License error comes while attempting RDC

Hi,
I have windows server 2008r2 std and have 5 terminal licenses to connect server through RDP from the internet. Now since a week some desktop PC's are able to connect server and some desktop pc's are not connecting and saying "The remote
session was disconnected because there are no Terminal Server LIcense server available to provie a license. Contact your server adiminstrator"

Hi,
1. What type of RDS CALs do you own, Per Device or Per User?
2. In RD Session Host Configuration (tsconfig.msc), have you set the Licensing mode to match the type of RDS CALs you own?
3. In RD Session Host Configuration, have you Specified the name of your RD Licensing server?
4. Have you installed RD Licensing Role Service?
5. Have you Activated your server and Installed your purchased RDS CALs in RD Licensing Manger (licmgr.exe)?

Transfer WISM Access Point license to another type of controller

Guys,
Is it possible to transfer Access Point license from existing wism to another type of controller ?
For example my client have existing wism with support for 300 access point and the plan will be migrated to Cisco WLC 5508, can the access point license transfer from existing wism to new Cisco WLC 5508, so i just buy Cisco WLC 5508 with minimum access point (12 license) and get license transfer from existing wism (300 license) so the total 312 license.
Is it possible to do that ? If not what the best scenario (for value) for hardware choice for controller if my customer want to migrate to new hardware ?

Refer to " Re hosting a License " from

2008 RDS user cal License moving to 2012 server

Hello ,
We have moved the 2008 RDS User Cal Volume License to the 2012 server .
In the RDS license Manager it is showing usage is showing as Zero even though users are using the service.
It is issuing the temporary license.
Does anyone have document how to follow the migrations process from 2008 RDS User Cal Volume License to the 2012 server.
please provide the resolutions.

Hi,
Please describe in more detail you current server configuration and what steps you have performed so far.
1. Are the users logging on to a Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH) server, or Server 2012/2012 R2 RDSH server? If the RDSH server is 2012/2012 R2 then 2012 RDS CALs are required. Additionally you need to configure the
licensing mode of the 2012 RDSH server to be Per User. From your description it sounds like it is set to Per Device. The licensing mode is set in the RDS deployment properties: Server Manager -- RDS -- Overview -- Deployment Overview -- Tasks --
Edit Deployment Properties -- RD Licensing tab.
2. If the users are logging on to a Server 2008 R2 RDSH server, did you set its licensing mode to Per User and point it to the new 2012 RD Licensing server? You can do this by logging on to the RDSH as an admin and opening RD Session Host Configuration
(tsconfig.msc) or by setting the appropriate group policy.
Thanks.

CAL's Terminal server 2012R2 with existing Terminal servers in 2008R2

Dear Everyone,
I'm installing a new terminal server 2012R2 for our dev team. I need to configure CAL's on this server to allow poeple to connect. The thing is we already have 2 servers in 2008R2 that are activated with CAL's (46).
My question is, may I add this new server in the same pool of CAL's ? I see in our volume licensing portal that they are already for 2012R2 BUT I don't want to kill the access to servers in 2008R2 !! (Production)
Regards,
Vincent

Hi Vincent,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
See with RD License server it’s like that you can access any lower version of RDS CAL (Such as 2003, 2008\R2) with Server 2012\R2 but the vice versa scenario is not possible. So you need to install and configure RD Licensing server 2012\R2 and then manage all
other lower version from there. You can check interoperability article for RD License server.

How can I know if my CAL license is valid for server 2012

Hi everyone,
I have a domain where all the server are Windows Server 2008R2, Due to certain progams that are about to enter the organization I have to deploy several new servers that will run server 2012R2 and possibly upgrade a few existing ones to 2012R2 as well.
That is however not the problem.
I recently found out the remote desktop servers that run the RD licensing role, Don't serve windows server 2012, but if I deploy a new RDS with server 2012 R2 it can serve both my old 2008 R2 servers and my new 2012 R2 servers. First I'd like to know if
it's correct and if any of you have tried that in the past. Furtner, I need to know if the CAL license that's installed on my 2008 R2 server is valid for 2012R2 servers as well, is there a way to find that out?
Hoping for a quick response.

Hi David,
You are correct, a 2012 R2 server can license your 2008 R2 servers, but your 2008 R2 CALs will not work to license connections to 2012 R2. A good wiki here...

I tested Adobe CC then bought an educational license with another ID. Lightroom Mobile does not work anymore.

I tested Adobe CC then bought an educational license with another ID. I cannot use Lightroom Mobile. Message "Evaluation version has expired is displayed" and information in Preferences showing the old ID, not the new one. Disappointing support from Adobe. How to get rid of the old information and solve the problem?

Thanks but it did not work. Adobe (USA, not France) solved the problem. My subscription was not correctly entered in the database, it seems.

SAP Archiving - Migrating from one archive backend to another.

Hi,
We use SARA for archiving and the archiving system is IBM Provided Filenet Database with ACSAP middle-ware.
From 1999 till 2009 we have archived terabytes of data into Filenet Database.
We plan to discontinue Filenet as our choice of archiving backend system and will like to migrate all existing archived data to the new archivingsystem. We are yet to decide what new system will will move to.
We are looking for help from SAP to answer following questions:
1) Is it possible migrate all past data from existing archiving system to a new one?
2) If Yes, then what is the broad approach? Does the data have to be retrieved back to SAP OR Can it be directly migrated from one backend to another one?
Retrieving the data and reloading into another tool in my opinion would be rather cumbersome and stupid method until this is the only option.
In Any case, at the end of day we want that all the data should be readable from SAP like before.
3) Is there any SAP provided tool that we can use rather then going for a 3rd party product?
4) Please guide to migration related documentation.
Thank you in advance for your support.
Regards,
Chandra.

Hello Chandra
yes- there are ways to migrate data out of Filenet into 3rd party tool without retrieving them back through SAP. I am not aware of any SAP tool itself but we have one and could help you with this effort. Please contact me at 610 3508677 and we can discuss the possibilities.

Migrate SharePoint's SQL Server (physical) to another SQL Server (virtual server)

Infrastructure team is migrating domain\SQLSERVER db to new ‘XYZ’ Location. Also they are moving these DBs to virtual server. Currently these are physical DB servers.
I am trying to keep the server names as same ‘SQLSERVER ‘, but IP address may change. Does it have any impact on MOSS environment and what configuration changes need to be done, if needed???
Note: - i am using alias for my share point 2010 server .
SERVER INFO
2 WEB SERVER , 1 APPS SERVER
NINTEX Workflow Database without Sql "Alias"
No any Customization only 2 site colleciton with Nintex workflow.

You can move all content databases to another SQL server, but moving Configuration DB will have impact on the farm. You can make it work using SQL Alias created on SP server using cliconfg.exe utility but some of the services will break on your farm. As
far as I know It is not recommended to move config db from one sql server to another.
You can check below link for referrence on moving databases from one sql to another sql:

Any way to migrates Notes from one iPhone to another

Is there any way to migrates Notes from one iPhone to another without backup restore?

HI Amir,
Checkboxes evaluate as TRUE when checked, FALSE when empty.
For your example:
C1: =IF(B1,A1,"")
Works with text (as shown), numbers, or the results of formulas in the source cells.
The last argument, "" inserts a null string in the cell containing the formula, making the cell appear 'blank'.

How to migrate adobe business catalyst cms to another hosting

how to migrate adobe business catalyst cms to another hosting
is there any way .. i have tried but how can get database

BC is a SAAS site so you can not just migrate it to another hosting. You would have to take layouts/templates and export the data as spreadsheets through reports in BC etc.
From there you would have to replace modules and tags with flat content or what ever the system needs that you migrate to.
Like with any system to system migration it wont be straight forward or a push click solution.

Migrate JOB objects from datastore to another

Hi all,
Please, how can I migrate JOB objects from datastore to another ???
Edited by: omar.elid on Dec 6, 2011 12:29 PM

If you are talking about changing the connection / source target database in multiple environments, you can have multiple data store configurations.
You can right click a data store, Edit , Advanaced , Edit. At the top, you have Duplicate configuration / Create New configuration.
Create multiple configurations as per multiple environments and set the Default to "Yes" as per your environment.
For migrating jobs from one repository to another.
In Designer, go to Tools>Export
In to the "Objects to Export" window, drag and drop the objects that you want to export from the "Local Object Library".
Right click on the export window and choose Export. Give the database credentials of the Target Repository (repository into which you want to export the objects). Click Next, change the Target status of the dependent objects to "Exclude" if you do not want to migrate them.

Suneer
