W2K3 Rogue Licenses

[Guest]

Hi!

I have a small problem with the numer of Licenses used on my TS-Server.
Apparently there is no means to revoke a license that has been assigned to a
computer, and the effect of it is that our managermachines have been assigned
temporary licenses, and Consultants that is here occasionally have gotten
Live ones.
How can i get rid of the consultant PC's and assign those licenses to the
machines they were supposed to be used for?

Thankful for any help..

You can't do this, and it shouldn't be necessary either.

TS CALs have an expiration date of 52-89 days after issueing.
Licenses that are not used (because the client does not
connect to the TS anymore) will automatically be returned to the LS
after the expiration date. In the meantime, your new clients
will get a temporary TS CAL, which is valid for 90 days.

Note that these time periods are choosen to make sure that your
temporary license lasts long enough for the old license to become
available again. So if you are reaching the end of the 90 day
temporary license period without having TS CALs available, it means
that you have too few licenses and you simply have to buy extra TS
CALs.
