Temp license and purchased licenses Windows 2003

Guest

Windows 2003.
I have reached the 120 day grace period with 10 per device licenses
purchased. TS Licensing only wants to use the temp and not take/use any of
the purchased licenses. Am I missing something here?

Hello,

Thank you for posting.

If the licensing mode is different from the type of license installed, the
Terminal server will issue temporary licenses.

Please go through the following article:

The function of Terminal Server CALs in Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];822134

I am attaching some information from the article for your reference.

If the Terminal Server is in Per Device mode and your Licensing server only
contains User CALs, you are only issued temporary licenses. When these
temporary licenses are close to expiration, you see the following message
in a pop-up window:
Your terminal services temporary client license will expire in N days.
Please contact your system administrator to get a permanent license.
This message also appears in the application event log as:
Event Type: Information Event
Source: Application Popup
Event ID: 26
Description:
Application popup: Terminal Services
Warning : Your terminal services temporary client license will expire in N
days. Please contact your system administrator to get a permanent license.
To correct this problem, switch the terminal server to Per User mode.

Similarly, Terminal Server clients that run Microsoft Windows XP or Windows
2000 may receive the following error if the client cannot connect to the
Terminal Server:
The remote session was disconnected because the local computer client
access license could not be upgraded or renewed.
The following event is logged in the application event log on the Terminal
Server computer:
Event Type: Information
Event Source: TermService
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1011
Date: 10/21/2003
Time: 8:23:13 AM
User: N/A
Description: The terminal server client useraccount has been disconnected
because its temporary license has expired. For more information, see Help
and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
This problem may occur if the Licensing Mode in Terminal Services is set to
Per Device, the Terminal Server Licensing server only has Per User CALS.

To correct this problem, change the Licensing Mode in Terminal Services
Configuration to Per User. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Terminal
Services Configuration.
2. Click Server Settings, and then double-click Licensing Mode.
3. Change the Licensing Mode to Per User, and then click OK.

Also please go through the following KB Article and check if your issue is
related to it.

Terminal Services Licensing mode changes from Per User to Per Device after
you add or remove a Windows component
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=834651

I hope the above information help you to resolve your issue.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you and have a great day.

Regards,

Rashmi
