RE: Event 1004 Terminal Server Cannot issue a client license

The previous reply was actually made by Patrick. Sorry if I
confused you by jumping in and making this a "conference" thread
:-)

Note that a Windows 2000 Terminal Server will *not* recognize Per
User TS CALs, so don't buy those. Assuming that your TS Licensing
Server also runs on W2K, you will not be able to install them as
Per User either. So the discussion about Per User versus Per Device
does not apply to your situation.

You will have to install Per Device TS CALs, which will be issued
to any device which needs one, on a first-come basis.

Note that neither Per User nor Per Device TS CALs are concurrent.
You need one for every device (or user, if running 2003) who
connects. With 7 tablet PCs, you'll need 7 TS CALs.

Thanks once again for your response Vera, you are enlightening
me. Let me see if I understood what you are saying. Every user
that login gets a CAL tied to his username. In other words if
users A, B, C, D and E were previosly given CAL user F will be
granted a temporary license. Is this correct?

Thanks,

I don't think 2000 recognises Per-User TSCALs, but in any case,
Per-User TSCALs are not issued, tracked or in any way
associated with a device. The TS, when in per user mode, just
checks for an activated TSLS, with installed per-user TSCALs.
If this is found, the logon is successful. If one is found,
but doesn't have per-user TSCALs, a TEMP License is issued to
the client, which is good for 30 days.

Thanks for your response Vera. Now, for the TS License there
are two kinds, Per Device or Per User. Which one will apply
in my case if I have 7 Tablet PC with only 2 or 3 concurrent
connections to our Citrix Server? If I purchase 5 Per User
CAL will I have issue with the other two Tables?

The hotfix *alone* will certainly not solve your problem!

You must first buy and install TS CALs for your CE thin
clients. And then *maybe* you need a hotfix wo make it all
work.

There are a couple of known problems with issueing
permanent licenses to thin client, which previously have
been issued a temporary license which now has expired (as
is the case with your thin clients).

Patrick was anticipating such a problem, that's why he
already included a link to a hotfix. But you must have the
TS CALs to start with!

Thanks for the reply Patrick. The KB article that
applies in my case is KB827355, it says to apply the
hotfix but not to purchase the TS License. That is why I
was a little bit confuse whether I need to buy the TS CAL
or just apply the hotfix. I will apply the hotfix I will
let yiou know if it will fix the problem.

I have a Citrix Metaframe 1.8 running on Windows 2000

for Windows CE client to connect to the Citrix Server?
The client is using Citrix ICA to connect. I get
event id 1004, terminal server cannot issue a client
license. Windows 2000 professional clients connects
without any problem.
