HOW TO RESET WINDOWS TERMINAL SERVICES 3 MONTH TRIAL
Warning: greyhat content.
Thanks to a Microsoft article, I've found out that it is very easy to extend your Windows Terminal Services 3-month trial or experience time. It's so easy that I'm sure many administrators have done this in their own systems, while waiting for their managers or financial staff to buy the definitive licenses (not being hypocrite here).
Following these instructions, you don't have to crack any program. You won't mess with your system. The magic is to only delete the licenses databases both in the server and the clients, and let windows re-create them for you.
----
Make sure you've installed 'Terminal Services Licensing'. By the way, this method only makes sense if you need to use Terminal Services in Application Mode, which is the one that requires licensing.
The idea is quite simple.
First, disconnect all users from the terminal. If you need to do this remotely, you can also disconnect yourself, and access the files remotely.
Go to %WINDIR%system32lserver
Notice the file TSLIC.edb. Rename it to tslic.old
In every client computer, remove the CAL TS registry keys, located at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMSLicensing
Restart your server.
Finally, if you need more information about how to crack terminal services, go check at Microsoft's web site. See the 'Cause 2' steps. :-)
Shouldn't MS improve the security for TS Licensing in the next versions of Windows (2003 with SP1 is also easy to 'crack')?
PS> I am definitely against software piracy. I strongly believe that Microsoft should strength their anti-piracy policy. Only then they could theoretically lower their licensing prices. The biggest result, though, would be a huge increase of free software popularity. Only then we, FOSS proponents, would have the opportunity to prove our paradigm is superior (now I'm being hypocrite, I guess).
UPDATE: Since Windows 2003, instead of following the complex process above, you can just switch to 'Per User' mode. As long as you have a TS Licensing server up, it should work, even if you don't have license. If that's not the case please leave a comment below.

How To Bypass Windows Server 2003 Activation

There is another method which I have not tested, which involves hacking the Registry, and which does not seem to be well-supported in Windows 2003 Server: In the Registry, go to the key HKEYLOCALMACHINE SOFTWARE MICROSOFT WINDOWS NT CURRENT VERSION WPAEVENTS. Edit the key OOBETIMER. Honda cbf 500 manual. Change at least three of the binary values therein. Dec 03, 2009 Thank you for posing in the Windows Server Forum. Fl studio mac torrent. According to your description, I understand that you are experiencing an issue with Windows Server 2003 Activation. Generally speaking, Windows automatically saves a backup copy of the license store file (WindowsSystem32Wpa.dbl) after a successful activation to the WindowsSystem32Wpa.bak file.
