It's a remote error, I think. When I launch the client, the first thing I
get is the small window where I type the name (or IP) of the remote
machine. After I connect, but before I can use anything on the remote
desktop visible behind the pop-up window, a message pops up which says
that the license will expire in XX days (now 6, I think) and to contact my
systems admin. My systems admin cannot figure out what this means. I'm the
only person connecting with a Mac (from home). All his various Windows
users are fine. He can't see anything about my settings which indicate any
client expiry date. I don't get this message when logging on from a
Windows machine.
I tried downloading the client software again and re-installing it. There
had been a new release since my original installation. But this didn't
help at all.
If you have any ideas, it would be great. I've come to rely on the remote
desktop. I am also running Windows 2000 in a Virtual PC on this Mac, and I
suppose I could install another remote desktop client there, but it seems
a real shame when the Mac OS one works so well.
