Guest Tfhknx5219 Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 I have purchased 100 Terminal Server Per User CAL Tokens. My two Winsows 2003 Terminal Servers are set to Per User licensing mode. However the CALS are currently being issued as Tempory Licenses for Windows Server 2003 - Terminal Server Per Device CAL Token. They are all set to expire beginning next week. My licensing server is a DC running Windows 2003 Standard w/ SP2. What do I need to do to correct this issue?
Guest Vera Noest [MVP] Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Re: Temporary licenses for Windows 2003 What SP are the Terminal Servers running? How did you set the licensing mode on them, in Terminal Services Configuration or in a GPO? _________________________________________________________ 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?VGZoa254NTIxOQ==?= <Tfhknx5219@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote on 19 jul 2007 in microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services: > I have purchased 100 Terminal Server Per User CAL Tokens.

Guest Tfhknx5219 Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Re: Temporary licenses for Windows 2003 One of the Terminal Server is running SP1 the other is running SP2. I am configuring the Terninal Services Licensing mode in the Terminal Services Configuration Tool not in a GPO. "Vera Noest [MVP]" wrote: > What SP are the Terminal Servers running?

Guest Helge Klein Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Re: Temporary licenses for Windows 2003 If a TS is set to per user licensing mode then it just checks that a licensing server is reachable - licenses are not actually checked out. If you see your TS licensing server has issued licenses then maybe another TS requested them. I hope this helps.

Guest Vera Noest [MVP] Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Re: Temporary licenses for Windows 2003 That's a good point, Helge, a rogue TS is certainly a possibility. Tfhknx5219, if Helges suggestion isn't the solution, then how about this: you write that all temporary Per Device TS CALs which are issued by your licensing server are going to expire next week. That means that they all have been issued around 2-3 months ago. Could it be that they were issued to your clients *before* you installed the Per User licenses and switched your TS to the Per user licensing mode? If so, then all is as it should be. Once the temporary licenses expire, they will be around in the TS Licensing Manager for one more month and then be removed automagically. You have a problem *only* if new temporary Per Device licenses were issued to clients *after* you switched the TS to Per user licensing mode. _________________________________________________________ Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net ___ please respond in newsgroup, NOT by private email ___ Helge Klein <Helge.Klein@googlemail.com> wrote on 19 jul 2007 in microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services: > If a TS is set to per user licensing mode then it just checks > that a licensing server is reachable - licenses are not actually > checked out.
