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
