Release unused ts cals

[Guest JBR]

We have 4 emergency pcs just in case one goes down is there any way to

release the ts cals from these while ther not in use they might get used most

one day a year.

No, you cannot manually release an issued license from a client, they

are automatically returned to the license server when they expire

(after 52-89 days).

These 4 PC's are simply 4 more clients who need a TS CAL. The only

situation in which this can be a problem is when you normally have

exactly the amount of TS CALs that you need, without a single TS CAL

to spare.

If you use them once a year for testing purposes, you could minimize

the extra TS CALs needed to one single extra TS CAL, by testing the 4

PCs one at a time, with a 90-day interval between tests.
