Migrate 2003 Terminal Server Licensing Server timing question.

i have following:

- 20+ win2k3 terminal servers/citrix machines

- pointing active win2k3 terminal server licensing server

- licenses configured "per user"

- windows 2008 r2 rds licensing server (no licenses installed yet)

we want perform following:

1. call ms clearingwarehouse migrate win2k3 terminal server licenses new w2k8 rds licensing server. (the licenses upgraded 2k8)

2. leave current win2k3 terminal server licensing server active (because servers still pointing it).

3. point win2k3 terminal servers new w2k8 rds licensing server preferred ls server. 

4. when terminal servers configured point new preferred w2k8 rds licensing server, , it's confirmed, we decommission old tsls.

my question:

when call ms clearingwarehouse , migrate new licenses on new rds license server, old win2k3 licensing server automatically no longer work servers still pointing licenses?  is working on "honor system" can decommission old win2k3 and point terminal servers new rds licensing server using own phased timeline, having 2 active/valid licensing servers @ same time?

hi,

the old 2003 ts licensing server continue work.  plan seems fine; when have of 2003 ts servers pointed new server 2008 r2 rd licensing server shut down 2003 ts ls.
