ts license took wrongly for windows 2000 professionals

[Guest]

Hi All,

I have the problem with ts licenses. We have citrix servers in our
environment. For windows 2000 machines, those machine should not take from
license pools. But the citrix users(windows 2000 machines) took ts license
from license pools. We need to save the ts license for other windows
platform(win95/88 machines). How can we reclaim back my ts licenses from
license pools? How can we prevent citrix client taking ts licenses?

I am not sure but all your Citrix client must have a ts licence to be able
to connect to a citrix server ...
The problem is that your 2000 client must take a TS integrated licence to
access terminal server ... only your 9X clients take a "classical" TS CAL
....

Hi,

Thanks for your advice. Do you mean that I must have valid ts license for
windows 2000 prof machines together with citrix client license?

Yes, all clients need a valid TS CAL as well as a Citrix license.
But your Windows 2000 Pro clients should receive a free TS CAL,
from the pool of "Existing Windows 2000 TS CALs", of which you
have an unlimited number.
Your W95/98 clients take a license from the purchased TS CALs that
you installed in TS Licensing manager.

Hi,

So how can we prevent this issue? How can we force citrix client(windows
2000 machine) to take only from Free TS CAL? How do we release back those
license to available license pool? According to some online documents, the TS
license for citrix clients keep at Citrix Server instead on keeping inside
normal TS clients. I have found that those license keys inside Citrix
server(in registry) but I don't know which key to delete for which machine.
Can anyone advise on me?

Thanks for all your replies.

I don't believe that the TS license is stored on the Citrix
server, I think it will be stored on the client. But that hardly
matters, since you cannot release issued licenses. Deleting the
license key from the registry will only cause the client to grab a
new license.

Is there anything in the EventLog on the Citrix Server or the
Licensing Server at the time these licenses were issued?
Something seems wrong here, and I would call Microsoft Support.
