Clean up old "Windows Client Access Licenses" from licenses server

    I need to clean up some client access licenses from my licensing
    server. I am going to migrate to a new 2008 licensing server in about
    a month so I am doing a little house cleaning. I am going through and
    need to "Revoke" some old licenses.

    How do I do this without having to go through them all one at a time
    and clicking revoke? Or is there a better way when i migrate them over
    to 2008? I have quite a few that i need to get rid of.


    Oh, and to be clear this is not a Terminal Server Licensing question.
     
  2. Generally, you don't need to worry about those.
    There is no hardware enforcement of CAL's.
    In case of (financial) audit, you must produce a proof of purchase for the
    given number of CAL's.
    And BTW, when you migrate to Win2008, your old Win2003 licences are no good
    anymore. You must purchase new CAL's for Win2008.

    Thanks for the info.

    We "should" only have to get new licenses for 2008 for that domain
    (Right?). We are running a mix domain due to our programers. We
    currently have 2 domains that are not connected to each other and I am
    making the 3rd (2008). I have already picked up 125 cals so far and i
    wanted to find out how many we would need in the long run. That was
    the idea of cleaning up the 2003 cals.
