Caution remember to back up your registry before messing with it!  This is a 
user tip. Thethin.net and Worldofasp suggests that this  procedure only be used 
for testing purposes in a test environment.     When an ICA client logs onto a 
Windows 2000 server before it is activated,   or if they do not have a Windows 
NT/2000 machine, they will receive a        90-day temporary license. Once this 
license runs out they will no longer     be able to connect to the Windows 2000 
server. Below is a workaround that    will work for the 90 days, but then you 
will have to repeat these steps.       Step 1: Apply Microsoft`s fix Q287687  
This fix needs to be applied to the Windows 2000 server. For more            
information you can reference TechNet Article, Q287687 - Terminal Services   
Licensing Enhancements.                                                         
Step 2                                                                       
The next step is to use Regedt32 or Regedit to r
 emove
 the   following registry entries on the CLIENT`S  machine:     
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMSLicensingStore.                  Remove 
both the license000 and license001 keys. Removing these keys will     force the 
Windows 2000 server to re-assign a license for the client`s        machine.     
                                                                  Step 3        
                                                               The final step 
is to rename the icaapi.dll located on the server under       winntsystem32 to 
icaapi.old. Once a client logs onto the server the          icaapi.dll will 
automatically be recreated.

DIV.Section1 {   page: Section1  }      Depends on the type of TS licenses. 
   
  If you are using Per User TS licensing, then you can wait for them to expire.
   
  If you are using Per Device TS licensing, then you will have to call the MS 
clearinghouse for them to disable all your current licenses and then give you 
new(replacement) licenses.

  No, they expire in 89 days on their own. If you are out of licenses you maybe 
able to use temporary licenses
  until they are returned to license pool.

    Is there a way to force the licenses that have been given out to expire?
