Re: CALs Windows 2003 Server, Users are getting license from Temporary pack and not from the CAL Token we purchased.

Make sure your Terminal Server is set to Per User license mode.

You can change it in Terminal Services Configuration. Even after you change the mode, your per user license count will not decrement because per user licenses are unmanaged.

Thanks.

We had purchased 40 CALs licenses (User). After activation now it

Windows 2003 - Terminal Server Per User CAL Token
Volume License     40       40          0
All the server are Windows 2003. Users connecting to the server are
getting license from Temporary Pack, where as they should be getting
license from third option (As above).Please can you help us in finding
out why it is happening, and what should be the solution for this?
We have made registry changes in the terminal servers to make these
servers point to License server as mentioned below:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermService\Parameters\LicenseServers]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermService\Parameters\LicenseServers\"LicenseServerName"]

This twmporary pack is showing Last Date 13 Oct.
Please can you suggest what the problem is and how to resolve it.

Thanks in advance,
