Re: Temporay CAL Expiring with Retail CAL's Installed

.... provided that the Terminal Server is using the correct
licensing mode.
If you installed the TS CALs as "Per User" TS CALs, you must also
set the Terminal Server to use "Per User" licensing. The default is
"Per Device".
You can check this from Administrative Tools - Terminal Services
Configuration - Server Settings - Licensing Mode
If it's set to Per Device mode, it will look for a Device TS CAL
and will not issue your Per User TS CALs.

Check this article, it explains that even after you have
switched licensing mode on the TS, your Per User TS CAL count will
not be decremented:
