RE: license questions

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

OK - now I have MORE trouble...I reviewed KB 822134 from an earlier post, and
checked the win2003 terminal server properties, and it was set up for
per-device. I changed it to per-user, and then users on a remote site - not
part of the domain yet - could not connect. Even an enterprise admin account
could not connect. The error message was that "they do not have permission
to connect". I then changed the win2003 terminal server properties back to
per-device, and the users can connect - However - they now get a message that
the temp license will expire in 5 days. HELP !!!!!!!
