Once they are assigned, there is no releasing them if they don't show an
expiration date. I forget which windows SP, 3 I think, corrects this but
you can also look for the TS licensing enhancement pack. The changes
that are made are that the licenses will expire from the client after x
amount of days, I believe that it was somewhere around the 3 month mark,
and the server will "reclaim" them. It also changes the way that the
licenses are handed out. Originally, the client was given a license the
first time it connected if one was available to give. After the patch,
the client receives a temp license at first and is issued the TS license
the next time that it connects to that TS environment.=20
After installing either the SP or the patch, you can call MS
clearinghouse and they can reissue the licenses that you have
permanently lost. =20

Conversation: [THIN] Terminal Services Licensing problem
Subject: [THIN] Terminal Services Licensing problem
Hello,
I'm running into a problem with licensing that is giving me a headache!
I have asked for help on other message boards and help sites with no
luck.
Just viewing this list makes me think you guys may have the answers. :-)
Here goes:
I have a Win2K primary domain controller that is our terminal services
license server also. It has 20 licenses in it, and all 20 are used.
This is, of course, causing problems. :-(
The really annoying issue is that half of the 20 used licenses are used
by either duplicate machines or users who are not with the company any
longer.
So, how do I free the licenses that are used by machines that don't
exist on the network any more??? Do I have to deactivate the server w/
Microsoft and then Reactivate it???
Thanks in advance for any help!
