Before installing XP/VS Server on a server operating system please make sure that the Terminal Server role and the Terminal Server licensing service are not installed.

This applies to all 32bit (x86) and 64bit (x64) versions of Windows Server operating systems.

Please note that on Windows server operating systems a XP/VS Terminal Server Standard or Professional license is required.
