Cause 1: You are trying to install a Windows Server 2008 CAL pack on a
Windows Server 2003-based license server
A Windows Server 2008-based terminal server cannot communicate with a
Windows Server 2003-based Terminal Services licensing server. However,
a terminal server that is running Windows Server 2003 can communicate
with a licensing server that is running Windows Server 2008.

To resolve this problem, you must configure a Windows Server 2008-
based computer as your licensing server.
