Description:
Controls the way a License Server distributes license upgrades to Windows 2000 servers.
A License Server attempts to provide the most appropriate CAL for the connection. For example, a Windows 2000 TS CAL token is provided for clients connecting to a Windows 2000 server, and a Windows XP TS CAL token is provided for a connection to a Windows XP server.
By default, this per-machine setting allows a License Server to supply a Windows XP TS CAL token, if available, to a Windows 2000 server, if there is no Windows 2000 TS CAL token available.
If you enable this setting, when a WIndows 2000 server requests a license, but no Windows 2000 TS CAL token is available, a temporary CAL is issued if the client has not already been issued a temporary CAL. Otherwise, no CAL is issued and the client is refused connection, unless the terminal server is within its grace period.
If you disable this setting, the default behavior is enforced.
If you do not configure this setting, the License Server exhibits the default behavior.
