We're having what appear to be licensing problems with our Terminal Server.

When our 51st user logs in (and consecutive users) they get a Windows
activation prompt:

logon.
Please ask a computer administrator to activate Windows on this computer."

We also get the following in the Application Log:

Occasionally some users can't logon with their normal profile (they're given
a temporary profile) and the TS generates the following logs:

UPHClean is already running on the server.

The TS is running in Per User license mode. If I open TS Licensing mmc, the
license server isn't activated (it's running in Per User mode). Would this be
the cause of the problem. I understood from Microsoft that Per User licensing
mode does not require the presence of an activated License Server:

Q: When a Terminal Server is configured for "per user" licensing, if a
client connects with a valid TS "Device" CAL, will that always be accepted?
(i.e. will that always cause the TS not to request a TS "user" CAL?)
A: "Per User" licensing mode is not managed at this time. As long as the
Terminal server has discovered a license server, client connections will be
allowed independent of whether the client has a license or not.

Q: Follow up: Just to be clear, a "per user" mode Terminal Server does
not have any communication whatsoever with the License Serv other than
validating that one exists? Does it need a find an activated license serv, or
will any one do?
A: Correct, the Terminal server will not communicate with the License
server once it has discovered it. It does not matter if the license server is
activated.

SBS2003 transition pack was applied to our SBS server, we have 55 user
licenses and purchased another 20 with the transition pack. I've been told by
Microsoft that licensing should not be an issue as the licenses are only for
conforming with the license requirements.

Your assistance would be appreciated!

Can this be fixed by entering the /3GB parameter in the boot.ini
file? I have a server that's got 2003SP1 and 4gb ram and it only
hovers around 2gb, I think the most I've seen is 2.25GB used of
physical ram and this problem started to hit us hard today. Funny
thing is that if I reboot our 2nd DC, seems that they can login! I
don't know if that's just a coincidence or if it has something to do
with authentication or a network error. No errors show up on either
DC but my log is filled with 1500 and 1508 on the TS server.- Hide quoted text -

It's not the DC, just timed it with a user that wasn't able to login
and restarting the DC didn't work this time. TS is not utilizing all
it's physical RAM so I think this is some kind of memory limitation.
Enough free space on the hard drives and the pagefile is ok.
