Change Temporary Device to Per User License

[Guest Dave]

I have a single 2003 TS Licensing Server.

This was setup with 25 Per Device Licenses.

We started getting the messages re Temp License will expire in x days.

I added 25 per user licenses, but people on Temp licenses still get the

message and cannot connect at all once it expires.

How do I change the people on Temp Device licenses to use the per user

licenses?

Thanks

Make sure that your Terminal Server is configured to use Per-User licensing.

Re: Change Temporary Device to Per User License

 

I am trying to set it to Per User, but the only article I can find to do that

is at

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc994792.aspx

 

But this says to look for "Licensing Mode" which I do not see.

 

Is there a reason that would be missing?

 

Thanks

Re: Change Temporary Device to Per User License

 

I found "Licensing Mode" under Licensing, but it only shows Remote Desktop

for Administration.

 

I would have thought that TS would not have worked in this mode, but I can

see the Licenses that have been assigned to particular machines in Per Device

CALs and they are able to use Citrix apps just fine.

 

What is missing here? Do I have to uninstall and reinstall TS Licensing and

choose Per User Mode?

 

Thanks

Re: Change Temporary Device to Per User License

 

No, you have to change the Licensing mode on the *Terminal Server*

not on the TS Licensing Server.

 

Note that when you do this, your TS will not use the Per Device TS

CALs anymore, just the Per User TS CALs. And since Per User TS CALs

are unmanaged in W2003, you will not be able to see how many of

them are actually used. So you'll need to keep track of the total

number of connecting users in some other way.
