Guest Dave Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 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. Rob
Guest Dave Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 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?

Guest Dave Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 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?

Guest Vera Noest [MVP] Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 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. _________________________________________________________ Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net ___ please respond in newsgroup, NOT by private email ___ =?Utf-8?B?RGF2ZQ==?= <Dave@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote on 15 okt 2008 in microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services: > 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?
