Consider the following scenario:

• The Terminal Server Licensing Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in is installed on a computer that is running Windows Server 2003 or the TS Licensing Manager MMC snap-in is installed on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista.
• You use the TS Licensing Manager MMC snap-in or the Terminal Server Licensing MMC snap-in to connect to a remote terminal licensing server.
