A TSCAL is a per device license, so it's not issued to a user at all, but to
a device. It looks like you can't find the information you're looking for
because nobody has seen the logic in making that information trackable. When
you log on to a terminal server, you log on to the server - you're already
logged on to the client (if it's a client that requires a logon), therefore
it has to take the server name as the logon computer.
If "MAIN" is a windows client, and you have security logging set up in the
correct way, you should be able to determine (through DC event logs) who was
logged on to the "MAIN" computer when the TSCAL was first issued to it, but
I don't actually understand what you might acheive by that.
The users tab in File Manager should tell you who is currently using the
"MAIN" workstation.
I don't think you can tell who loggen in _from_ "MAIN", you can only tell
who logged in _to_ "MAIN", and that depends on you having set up the
tracking for security for logons & logoffs, and on the nature of the OS on
the "MAIN" workstation.
I think I've managed to answer the question, but does that do anywhere near
resolving the problem?

I have a question. I run a WIn2003 Terminal Server. When I check the
licensing, it shows that a license has been issued to "MAIN". That's the
machine name of someone's PC, obviously. Yet when I check the Event Log, to
match up the workstation named "MAIN" with a user, I don't see any entries
that reference "MAIN". The LOGON/LOGOFF Security entries are listing users
who log on/off, but the "COMPUTER" entry is always the server name.
I want to be able to filter the Security log for all entries that reference
the user who logged in from a machine named "MAIN"; how can I do that? The
"FILTER" command only lists "COMPUTER", which is always the same in all
entries (i.e., the TS server name).
