Hi all,
we have a Win-2000-terminal-server running in application server mode.
We want to use some old PCs as RDP client. We think about taking the
hard disks out of the PCs and booting Knoppix from CD, using rdesktop
1.3 which is included in Knoppix.
Firsts tests worked fine, but there seems to be one problem: the
terminal server only applies 90-day-license to the Knoppix client. It's
quite obvious that a TS-CAL can't be stored on a machine that has no
harddisk, right? Has anybody else ever used Knoppix + rdesktop and found
a solution for licensing issues. Maybe it would be possible to store the
license on a floppy disk?
I know that in older versions of rdesktop there was a switch --built-in-
license so the rdesktop client emulated a Win-2000-workstation. Of
coures, that would "technically" solve the problem, but this would be a
license violation. For this reason, the switch was removed in newer
versions.

Gerhard
