SYMPTOMS
A Windows NT-based server that is running Terminal Server may log the following error in the System event log:

Event ID: 1003

Source: TermService

Type: Information

The terminal service client has provided an invalid license.



CAUSE
A corrupted or invalid license is being supplied by the client when it connects to the Terminal Server-based server. The event log does not specify the client computer that provided the invalid license. One way to determine which client supplied the invalid license is to audit Logon and Logoff events, and then compare the System event log and the Security event log.

This problem may not occur in later versions of Windows NT.
