Can´t use permanent licences from TS Server Licence

[Guest Bruno Marçal]

Hi!

 

I have a network with two servers:

 

1) Windows 2000 Server with AD and RAS server, were computers from other

locations establish VPN connection;

 

2) Windows 2003 Server with an applications that clients use, and Terminal

Service Licence Manager;

 

On Windows 2003 Server I install TS Service, activated and now have 10

permanent licences (I can see this), I need users from the stores to access

to this computer using remote desktop, but they only get temporary licences.

 

Now I have a messenge everytime I connect from a diferent place telling me

that this will stop to work in 3 days...

 

How can I use the ten licences that I have installed on that server? Why

this connections doesn´t get one of the permanent one´s?

 

Thanks

You bought 10 terminal services licenses correct? This is show in

terminal services licensing snap-in? many time people confuse windows

cal licensing with TS licensing which is completely separate.

 

Check HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MSLicensing key and confirm that users

have full control on that key and everything below it.

Re: Can´t use permanent licences from TS Server Licence

 

Hello Jeff,

 

I have the papers here, and we have 15 windows cals and 10 TS licences...

the last one I install myself, the server is activated and the licences

installed.

 

I check that key on registery, it was ok...

 

The problem persists... I have a total of 10 licences and 10 availble... it

continue to use only temporary licences...

 

In 3 days, this will stop to work? What can I do?

 

Thanks!

Re: Re: Can´t use permanent licences from TS Server Licence

 

Maybe you have bought and installed Per User licenses, and your

terminal Server is still in the default licnesing mode of Per

Device licensing?

Check in Terminal Services Configuration - Server settings -

Licensing.

Change the mode to Per User licensing (if that's the TS CALs you

have installed), and all should be well.

 

Check this article as well, it explains that even after you have

switched licensing mode on the TS, your User CALs count will not

be decremented:
