TS Temporary Licenses

[Guest Mark]

I have a Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server with 20 per-user terminal

server client licenses. When someone creates a terminal server session they

are getting issued a "Temporary" license, now one of the 20 purchased

licenses. We are getting to the point where their temp licenses are going to

expire. How do I resolve this so they get issued a per-user CAL? Thanks.

Re: TS Temporary Licenses

 

You must configure your Terminal Server to use the Per User

licensing mode. This is done in terminal Services Configuration -

Server settings.

 

Note that after you make this change, your Per User licenses in the

TS Licensing Manager will still be listed as "N/A", and the

"Issued" count will not change.

This is because Per user licenses on a 2003 server are unmanaged

and never actually issued.

But the LS will stopp issueing temporary licenses to new clients,

and your existing clients will no longer receive a warning that

their temporary license is about to expire.
