Hello,

Can I install a 2012 TS CALs on a Licensing Server 2008 R2 and is that my 2012 RDS Server will work with the Licensing Server 2008 R2 ?

Best Regards.

Guillaume.

Can I install a 2012 TS CAL Licensing Server 2008 R2 RDS and 2012 will work with the Licensing Server 2008 R2?

I bet you mean:  If I install a 2012 TS CAL Licensing Server,  will Server 2008 RDS and Server 2012 RDS work with it?

Yes, a 2012 TS Licensing Server will also server a 2008/2008R2 RDS s

Oh sorry,I made a mistake in my copy / paste !

I edit my first post now !!

Hello Renardguill,

You can only use a 2012 License server to connect your 2012 RDS server to. A 2008 license server will not be able to serve the required Cal's to a 2012 server.

However a 2012 licensing server is backwards compatible and is able to serve CAL's to a 2012 RDS server and a 2008 RDS server (if you have the correct CAL's offcourse).

Hi,

To add to this discussion, there is a very useful RDS and TS CAL Interoperability Matrix available here:

thank you for the information, I have the answer I looked!

Have you ever resolved your issue? I have licenses for 2012 std server but only TS licenses for 2008 server. I have 10 licenses but cannot use a 2008 license to connect to a 2012 ts server. If you still have them, want to trade?
