Un-install TS CALs on 2008, after installation

## Un-Install Installed TS CALs Windows 2008
## Remove Installed TS CALs Windows 2008
Up on setting up a new server, I had a requirement of removing installed TS CALs on a second thought, after I installed them. There was no way i could remove them from License Manager.  So used below method

1) Stop the Terminal Services Licensing service.
     SC Stop TermServLicensing
 
2) Rename %systemroot%\System32\lserver\TLSLic.edb to TLSLic.old

3) Start the Terminal Services Licensing service.
    SC Start TermServLicensing
  

The above steps will of-course wipes out "ALL" the licenses installed. So if you want to keep any of them, this method wont help, until unless you are ready to re-install the correct once.
