As Jeff said... the old hack is a registry hack PER MACHINE... per user licensing can't be done on a machine basis in the registry because you never know what machine they are going to be on. This would have to be implemented somehow within active directory and within the users profile. Hence you aren't really going to gain a whole lot.

Why wouldn't the same hold true for per user, whenever the tracking gets implemented? Or did I misunderstand this enhancement? --------------------------------- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Flebeau, Loreene Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2006 9:27 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Terminal Server Licensing 2003 Oh?it is a very painful process.

We are looking at upgrading our terminal server environment to Windows 2003. We are looking at licensing the server using per user. My question is when a user is issued a license when does the license get recovered. For example if user A logs into terminal server and gets issued a license. Then later on that user leaves our company, how does the license that gets issued to user A get recovered. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks Jonathan The ProHealth Promise: We believe that our first responsibility is to our patients.
