Hello,
I'm running TS on a server 2003 box that is also the licensing server. I can
not get a new temp license on my XP machine. Any idea's?

TIA,
Eric
 
Each client is only issued a temporary license once. When that has
expired after 90 days, you need a permanent, purchased license.
 
I have purchased 20 licenses when I installled TS on the server, but it won't
hand out a perminant license.

Did you install Per User or Per Device licenses?
If Per User, is the Terminal Server (not the Licensing Server!) set
to use "Per User" licensing? The default is "Per Device".
You can check this from Administrative Tools - Terminal Services
Configuration - Server Settings
If it's set to Per Device mode, it will look for a Device TS CAL
and will not issue your Per User TS CALs.

Check this article, it explains that even after you have
switched licensing mode on the TS, your Per User TS CAL count will
not be decremented:
