Windows 2k Adding Cal

[Guest Dan Davies]

I have a windows 2K server running TS, up until recently all my users have

been windows XP pro clients. As expected when they first connect they get a

temporary license, when that license expires it get converted to a "FREE"

license. However recently some users are using Vista, so I purchased 10 cals

which where TS 2K3 License cal, but was told they are backward compatible. As

expected all the Vista Client can now connect as their temporary license have

been converted to a purchased CAL.

 

My problem is that the Windows XP Pro machines are now taking up these

purchased license, and not be converting to the "Free License" in two weeks

nearly call the purchased CAL have been allocated to XP pro machines, leaving

no license left for my Vista users. Do I need to re-license via Microsoft

Clearing.

 

Cheers for any help.
