Clients start annoying users about their license expiration

[Sleurhutje]

Hi,

Desktops running Windows 2000 Pro SP4 and RDP Client 5.2 Build 3790. Some of
them had a temporary license on the Windows 2003 Server. There are enough
licenses available.

For the users that are almost at the expiry date (started 14 days before
expiration) get an annoying message about the fact that their temporary
license is about the expire. Because of that they start calling the support
team (that's me).

In order to this, the users get the same message on any Terminal Server that
they connect to, even the ones from which they have a valid license!!!

How can I disable this stupid message? And why is it displayed on every
connection they make?

If you are getting that message they DONT have a valid license. there is
something going on with the TS server to license server connection.

Start checking the event logs and making sure that youa rent getting "cant
find license server" messages, also check out the License server for temps
with the same client names that are calling in.
