To reset the trial license for Terminal Server Microsoft Windows Server (2000 and 2003) as follows:

  • Disconnect all of the client terminal
  • On the server shut down the Terminal Server Licensing
  • Move the contents of the folder% WINDIR% \ system32 \ LServer in a temporary folder (used only as a backup)
  • The folder will be empty LServer
  • Restart the Terminal Server Licensing service
  • For each client to clear the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ MSLicensing

To reconnect to the server to each new client will be granted a new temporary license for 90 days (120 for Windows Server 2008). Warning: The procedure described is not a CRACK but a procedure described by Microsoft itself, to use a case of licensing issues such as corruption of the database.

UPDATE: I'm doing some testing on Windows Server 2008
