Problems with licensing "License server server1 does not have any installed licenses with the following attributes..."

i've installed license server on server1, , under servers | server1, shows "windows server 2008 or windows server 2008 r2: installed ts or rds per user cals" total licenses of 15. however, if go servers | server | windows server 2008 or windows server 2008r2: installed ts or rds per user cals", there isn't showing cals installed. can click link generate report, when so, brings remote desktop licensing manager. if attempt install licenses under server | server 1 | windows server 2008 or windows server 2008 r2, rd licensing manager states licenses installed. furthermore, when go server2 (which pointed server1 licensing server), says "license server server1 not have installed licenses following attributes: product version: windows server 2008 or windows server 2008 r2". 

can please point me in right direction? thanks
