Terminal Server License Error

I have several windows 2003 terminal servers that up until today, were working flawlessly. They have been in service for well over a year and well past the terminal server license grace period. The server that holds the license remained operational, however, the other two terminal servers were not accepting connections for either users or administrators. The downside to this were the terminal servers are virtual machines and there is no "real" console.

Following the Microsoft knowledge base article, http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=279561, I was able to create the appropriate registry key and point to a specific license server instead of using the auto discovery method which at this point in time, fails.

To select a specific license server for use with various Windows Terminal Services servers in a domain or site, you can modify the registry to point to a particular license server. You can specify that all Terminal Services servers work with a particular license server for accounting purposes. A Terminal Services server and the license server can reside in different domains. Microsoft recommends that you use the LicenseServers registry key to reduce any issues with the Terminal Server licensing discovery process.
