Shouldn't the PDC issue a CAL for it's lifetime, but once the expiration date arrives and that device hasn't been seen, return the CAL to the pool to issue to another device?

The PDC issue is something different. My guess is that those weretemporary licenses that were issued in the past and expired after their90-day (or is it 120-day?) lifetime. Those are indeed TS CALs. What you are running into with your 10-user limit are the Windows OS CAL's, which is caused by the way your Windows OS is licensed on that particular server. -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Yuroff Sent: Friday, January 05, 2007 4:11 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: A licensing question... I think. It's "Per Seat" or "Per Server", and yes, it is sitting at per server, with 10 concurrent connections, so this matches up. Does this address why the PDC has is holding onto licenses that should have expired in 2005 and 2006, or am I mixing 2 issues here? Steve.

I believe you can easily change this to "Per User" using the "Licensing" applet in the Control Panel of the Windows 2000 server. -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Yuroff Sent: Friday, January 05, 2007 3:43 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] A licensing question... I think. Hi list, Let me begin with a server description. My organization has one Citrix server- Windows 2000 SP4, MetaFrame 1.8. According to Citrix Management Console: Servers: <ServerName>: Licenses: MetaFrame Connection: Properties, I have 15 Metaframe 1.8 for TSE with subscription. My problem is that it seems if we have 10 Citrix connections in use, #11 won't be able to connect. When they try, it just sticks at a splash screen, but no error is ever provided. If we disconnect one user, one more can get on in his place.On the Citrix Server console, it will pop up with "License usage for aproduct licensed in per server mode has exceeded the maximum number oflicenses purchased and will prohibit further licenses from being granted. Consult the Application event log or License Manager from the Administrative Tools folder for more information." Here's my first point of confusion. Administrative Tools does notcontain anything by those names. License manager on the citrix serveris blank (licensing is on our PDC). Event viewer: Application Log shows an entry that reads "no license available for user SYSTEM using product TermService 5.0" I'm guessing this means my CALs are used up. So I look at Terminal Services Licensing on my PDC, pointed to my Citrix server. It says I've issued all my per-device licenses. However, when I look deeper, I see many expiration dates in the past: in one pool of 20, there are 3 2005 expiration dates, and 14 2006 expirations. Shouldn't these 17 CALs be available for current connections? Is there something I need to do to make them available? Am I even seeing the right problem? I admit to being completely befuddled by MS licensing.
