removing licenses from terminal server license manager 1

[stanja]

I've got a win2000 server with terminal licenses , my problem is that one client takes up 3 licenses and causes me a shortage on licenses for the other clients.
How can i remove 2 licenses for that client ?
I've tried it with removing the terminal client , but it stays the same.

Win2K Terminal Connections like to munch CALs permanently. This is by design. I pasted in a piece below from TechNet that tells how to release them if they're all taken. There is also a post-service-pack-2 patch that suppossedly resolves the munching of further CALs on TechNet. If you post your e-mail address I can send it to you. When I do an install, I also take the further precaution of backing up the 'LSERVER' directory on the license server. That is where TSCAL database resides.
