No, you can't. And if you find yourself in a situation where you
want or need to do this, it means that you have used, at least
during a time period, more clients than you have TS CALs.

Since the expiration time is 89 days at the maximum, and a
temporary license lasts 90 days, you can always replace one client
with another without needing more than a single TS CAL.
