Logically:
 
Do you have lots of users that share a few devices?  Then per device
will maximize your licensings.

If there is no device sharing, or very little, then per user is the way
to go IMO, as you don't have the issues you are having.

I'm having an issue with my per device licensing mode. We have been
rebuilding clients like mad (switching OS and because summer
power/humidity issues things die) . Anyhow some of my devices had been
issued 2 or 3 licenses. And now I have about 15 licenses that are tied
up and so a couple of clients can't logon. 

 

MS support recommend changing to per user so this wouldn't happen again.

 

Is this really the way to go? 

 

 

Thanks,

Joanne
