I've installed Windows server 2003 and it was working fine for the past 6 months.

Now, I am unable to terminal service in. It gives a remote Desktop Disconnected error:
The remote session was disconnected because there are no Terminal Server Licnese Servers available to provide a license. Please contact the server administrator.

Any ideas is appriciated.

Yes, that sounds right. If you installed TS then u can use it to administer the server free (think its Remote desktop now) but if u want users to use TS as a client u are given x days (30 maybe) to setup the licencing server where u put in all your TS Licences that u have purchesed.

Im guessing u have not bought TS licences and presumed it was free.

All I want to do is use it for Remote Desktop though.

Guess I got to buy some licences then?

If u want to administer your server with remote desktop then you dont need TS licenses as i said above. But need to declaire this to the TS server application. It sounds like you have just turned TS server application on fully instead of administration only. Go to your settings and check them out.

You don't need to install terminal services in Win2003 to get remote admin. It is installed by default. If you installed it via Add/Remove Programs, then you installed in Application server mode and you get 90 days to license it. You don't need that from the sounds of it.

Remove it via Add/Remove and you should be fine.
