Hi
At present I am trying to resolve a TS licensing issue on
our domain. When I look at the Terminal Services Licensing
console I see several licenses issued to users that no
longer exist in the domain.
One thing that I don't understand is that the licenses
appear to be issued to users but the TS help system
suggests that the license is associated with a computer or
terminal.
Here is a quote from TS help..
"When a client computer attempts to log on to a Terminal
server for the first time, the Terminal server recognizes
that the client has not been issued a license and locates
a license server to issue a new license to the client.
Once granted, each client license is permanently
associated with a particular computer or terminal and
cannot be transferred to another device. Client licenses
are digitally signed certificates that each client stores
locally."
What can I do to clear these issued licenses and have them
redistributed to new users.
 
The only time this is an issue is if your license packs
were installed pre-SP3. Then the licenses would be
permanent and not expire.

Otherwise, you should see an expiration date; that is
when they will automatically be removed if the clients do
not connect again.
