Do you see the License servers from the TS?  (Use LSView.exe from the
resource kit).. Is the license server activated?  Is it possible that all of
the licenses have been allocated?  Is this a Domain/Workgroup or Enterprise
License server?

Tyler,

Thanks for the response.  To answer your first question, yes, I see the
same issue when logged in as the local Administrator.

Also, I have all of the Citrix servers using a DefaultLicenseServer and
I have verified name resolution and communication between each Citrix
server and the TS licensing server

PLEASE NOTE:  when the affected machines are connected to the local LAN,
everything works perfectly and the user can open publications with no
problems.  It has something to do with being connected remotely through
VPN, but I can't put my finger on it.  I have name resolution, I get the
temporary licenses issued with no problems, I see all pubs in CPN, I
just can't get that permanent license when connected remotely.

Thanks,
Rob

Rob, when a client initially connects to a TS or Citrix server, the TS
Licensing server issues it a temporary TS CAL.  It is only on a second
connection that a permanent TS CAL is issued.  It sounds as if the
client is unable to get a permanent TS CAL the second time it connects.
Do you see this behavior with an adminstrative account logged in to the
laptop?  If not, I would check the registry permissions on the
MSLicensing key or below.

I also think Mike's suggestion about trying to specify a specific TS
License server is a good idea.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards,

Tyler Kinchen
