Licenses not being issued

[Jim]

Hi,
According to the TS Licensing Manager I have two blocks of 5 licenses
which have been issued to clients. They appear as "Windows 2000 Terminal
Services Client Access License". I also have a block of 5 licenses which
is not being issued. They are described as "Windows 2000 Server -
Terminal Services CAL Token (per device)". Can anyone tell me what the
difference is and why they are not being issued to clients? How can I
use them?
Thanks.

Per device means the client token is built in to the client OS. Your
server, as I understand it, is only counting how many clients are
accessing your system, that already have their tokens.

So you dont have to do anything to "use them". What your server is telling
you is "5 Win2k machines are talking to me; these clients are win2k and
they have their own tokens. I dont need to issue them one."

"Per device" is enabled by default.

Thanks for responding to this one. I understand what you're saying but
isn't that covered by the "Existing Windows 2000 License" section which
says it has issued 49 in total? The other two blocks of 5 have been
issued to Windows 98 machines on my network. Perhaps an 11th Windows 98
system has yet to connect but I would have though I'd exceeded that
count by now.
