I opened the licensing tool in control panel, attempted to update the
licenses to 5 which came with the server software, but got a

"You do not have access permissions"

I am logged on by the domain administrator account... what other top level
persmissions do you need.. I thought the Administrator account which is part
of the administrator group had God access...

Hello Tim_S,

If you talk about Terminal server licensing this you have to do with the
TS license server console. Normal licenses you just have to had. There is
no management console for it. You have to control them yourself.

Best regards

Hi Weber,
I am on windows 2003 server and there are two license management tools,

One is in the control panel and one is in the Administrators Tools, The
Licensing services must be running to use the tool in the Administrators
Tools folder, that is for enterprize wide management of licenses.

The other tool is just called Licenses and is under the control panel on
Windows 2003 Server.

This is where you select Per Seat or Per User mode and add your licenses for
2003 server, the other option there is Per Server Mode. Right now it is
set a Per server mode for the server i just added to AD on a 3 server
domain. This is currently set a 0. I went to increase this to 25 and I
got the error that I don't have permission to change this value.

I have no issue at adding or increasing licenses in per server mode on the
other two servers but this 3rd server says i don't have appropriate
permissions....

No this is not terminal server licensing i am talking about...

strange....
Maybe i have given myself to many rights and some groups may have
restrictions.... i'll try removing some other groups the account is in and
see if that fixes the no permission syndrome...
Maybe I am just over confusing this license issue....

I do have valid purchases for 25 user CAls, 10 device cals and 25 SQL cals
that need to be added yet... I think i should convert to per user and per
seat mode eh? especially since i have 3 std edtiions running various
things...

thanks again...
