Hi Rob,
Non win32 clients can't handle CALs themselves, so what happens is that the
Metaframe servers handle the TS CALS for the dumb clients. So if a TSCAL
expires, the Wyse chippc device attaches to a metaframe server, that passes
the expired ts CAL to the license server. The CAL gets rejected and you're
dead.
The only way out is hacking the MSLicensing info on the maetaframe servers.
I've got a more detailed description somewhere, just can't find it at the
moment. Sorry.
The procedure is essentially the same as deleting an expired TS CAL from a
PC by deleting the mslicensing key.
Regards,
Rick

Subject: [THIN] Terminal services licensing not returning lics
Hi,
with two customers I've seen similair problems occur with Wyse and ChipPc
not being able to log on.....
This occurs when expired TS licenses are not being freed after the expire
date has been reached. This resulted in the clients of the expired licenses
(with Wyse 3125SE and ChipPc 4010) not being able to log on even with enough
TS licenses available. they can't log on because they are listed as expired
in the license DB.....the license DB doesn't work properlyin these cases
The whole server environment is SP3 so all TS lics have expire dates behind
it. I'm just wondering if any one has seen this before cause it's something
that made me wonder...the only way to release the expired lics is to add
lics by calling the clearing house. The clearing house admitted that the
problem occured more frequently and their only solution was to deinstall the
licensing service and reinstall in again....I objected of course stating our
customers are healthcare and 24/7.....so thay gave me some new licenses
after which the expired licenses suddenly got released.
It all seems very weird to me......hope it ain't no new bug surfacing in
SP3.....
grx
