I'm getting event log messages on my terminal server (w2k, sp2 (rolled =
back
from sp3 due to printing issues), Citrix XP) warning that client =
license(s)
will soon expire.  It was an informational event, and I've been busy =
until
today mopping up the Error events, so I just noticed them:

"Terminal Services Warning : Your terminal services temporary client =
license
will expire in 9 days.
Please contact your system administrator to get a permanent license"

I've checked our License server (W2k,Sp3), and it shows a status of
Activated, for my license server, and has three entries that say =
"Windows
2000 Terminal Services Client Access Licenses" with various licenses
attached, all of which show issued. =20

There is also line for "Temporary Licenses for Windows 2000 Terminal
Services", that shows several licenses issued.

The puzzling parts: =20
        Only three out of all of the licenses (18 total), show an expiration
date. =20
        A few machines show up as having been issued multiple licenses.
        A lot of the licenses show issue dates in June/July of this year, I
thought=20
                they expired/reissued every 90 days or so.
        Several licenses are issued to "Unknown".  The number issued to
Unknown roughly
                corresponds to the number of WinTerms I have, so I think
these are OK,
                although, they are all issued back in June/July with no
expiration


How can I free up those duplicate licenses?  Is there an easy way to =
"reset"
the licenses and have them all reissued?


Thanks in advance for any help,
