License Database FilesChanges to database files to Windows 2008Windows Server 2008 Windows Server 2003 Purposeedb.chk edb.chk This is a checkpoint file used to determine whichtransactions in the transaction log (edb.log) must stillbe committed to the licensing database. This file isupdated each time a transaction is committed to diskand is used to quickly recover the integrity of thelicensing database if the database was not shut downcorrectly.edb.log edb.log Current transaction log for the Terminal ServiceLicensing database (TLSLic.edb). This file will grow to 5MB in size, at which time it will be renamed toedbxxxxx.log, starting with edb00001.log andincrementing each time.edbres00001.jrsedbres00002.jrsres1.logres2.logReserve transaction log files that serve as a drive spaceplaceholder. There are two of these created, typically 5MB in size, and are only used in the event the drivehosting the transaction logs runs out of space. Thesefiles are used to facilitate a clean shutdown of thedatabase.In Windows Server 2003, these files were simplyres1.log and res2.log.edbtmp.log --- This is used as a template transaction log file, which isused when the edb.log file reaches 5 MB in size and isrenamed. While edb.log is being renamed, edbtmp.logbegins accumulating new transactions, and is thenrenamed to edb.log once the existing edb.log file hasbeen renamed.Once edbtmp.log is renamed to edb.log, a new emptyedbtmp.log file will be created. There was no WindowsServer 2003 equivalent.TLSLic.edb TLSLic.edb This is the actual Terminal Services Licensing databasefile.tmp.edb tmp.edb This is temporary workspace for processingtransactions.6 | P a g e
