Hi,

I have a Win 2K3 Standard Edition without any Domain, AD, or any other
services configured, just as default, with a workgroup and a SQL
express.

I want to use a few concurrent TS connections, but my 10-Pack CAL will
not arrive until 2 weeks (my IT supplier is on vacations), and I read
that I can use a temporally unlimited licenses for a 90 days but I
don't know how to do it.

I followed this instructions: http://www.chicagotech.net/server/tsls3.htm

I installed the TS License and activated the server, but I didn't
install any CAL licenses yet.
Then I restarted the computer and I opened the Terminal Services
Configuration -> RDP-Tcp's Properties -> And in the Network Adapter
tab, the Unlimited Connections option is disabled. And the max. number
of connections is 2.

How I can fix it?

Thanks!
 
Did you install Terminal Services, in Add/Remove Windows
components?
By default, only Remote Desktop for Administration is installed
(but nor enabled), and RDfA allows for a maximum of 2 connctions (+
1 to the console). That seems to be your situation.

Yes!! That was the problem, I just installed the TS as you suggested
