I'm not even critizing you for giving a solution which doesn't fix
the problem, I object to the fact that you tell people that a
certain situation (permanent license is not issued on second
connection despite the fact that a permanent license is available)
can be safely ignored because you believe that this is a flaw in
the licensing issueing mechanism. I feel that this is ill advice
which can cause people to get into a situation where users are
refused to connect.

And I don't provide the next step, because Cristian has already
replied that "Today is the first day I use this psa", so it's
likely that he only has connected once.

But for the sake of completeness, the next step is to check the
EventLog.

Vera,

I was under, and maybe mistaken, impression that the period that
the temp liciences would expire was already over, meaning that
they were not expiring.
From his next post I would say that he has not had this time
pass yet which
means the server could disconnect and not let the device back in
again. Which as you stated would be a problem.

From here I would advise him to google out his device and TS and
see if there are some problems with it accepting TS Cals for the
device and if there is a workaround in that way, not sit on his
thumbs and wait.

I also stated that I have had devices that do not pickup
licences as they should based on the fact that they don't, maybe
I do have a problem, but I have yet to work with a Terminal
Server that always issues on the second time.

Vera, you critize me for supposedly giving a solution that will
not fix his problem, yet all you do is jump on the board in
flame me? Why don't you provide the next step then because
obviously I don't understand how Terminal Services works in the
depth that you do, oh powerful MVP. You having a bad day? Lets
fix the problem rather than making this a personal fight.

Matt

TS Cals are given as temporary at first and after the
second log on (Microsoft says) they should recieve a
permantant one. Here is the deal, I don't believe that
Mircosoft quite has this worked out as I have had computers
that have loged on 7 or 8 times and they continue to recieve
a temp cal even though I have permant ones to hand out.

Matt, I can assure you that "Microsoft has worked this out".
If your clients are not receiving a permanent TS CAL after the
second logon, you have a problem.

I would not worry too much about it. It is nice to see
exactly how many you have and are using in one screen, but as
along as people are not getting denied access, and you are
within the rules of using TS Cal's I would not sweat it to
much.

Are you seriously advising posters here to just sit and wait
until their users get refused?
How exactly are you going to explain that to them when (not if)
that happens? Something like: "Yes, I have noticed from the
beginning that licenses were not issued as they should, but I
believed it was a bug in Windows, so I didn't take any action
to solve the problem."?
I know that neither my users nor my boss would be impressed by
such an explanation.
