Prior to this date the TSCal was built into XP. Good Luck ... Devin McBride <devin@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: http://www.MSExchange.org/ Was hoping someone could give me a hand with this issue I'm having as I'm not quite sure where to go at this point... We have a TS server in per device mode with 3-4 Win98 computers and the remaining 8 computers being XP Pro My understanding is that XP Pro comes with a TS Cal...therefor we would not need to buy extra permanent licenses to cover these stations - and I was told if looking in Terminal Server Licensing, the XP Pro machines shouldnt even take one of the permanent licenses... We are running into an issue now though where the server will tell users that their temporary license is about to expire. We do have a block of 5 perment licenses which we bought through the open license program Can someone please enlighten me as to what I am not understanding correctly and possible give me a lead on where I should be looking? I've tried calling up the MS Server Down phone contact and he was a bit unsure, not necessarily because we have everything setup correctly, but moreso because he wasnt extremely knowledgeable on TS itself. He directed me to call the MS Clearing House to activate more licenses, but that kind of defeats the purpose if we dont need to activate more licenses to begin with. Again, I'm not sure - I may be understanding this very incorrectly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much in advance.
