TS licensing problems

[Ashaman074]

Hi,

We installed a Metaframe XP/Nfuse server earlier this year. This server was installed at our main office to provide access to our branch offices (~10 users) via ICA clients as well as access to staff members while travelling via Nfuse.

However, it has come to my attention that a problem is coming in regard to our Terminal Service licenses. We purchased 15 licenses at the time of the install. Shortly thereafter, I had other companies logging in for tech support, test machines logging in etc, and I now realize that they grabbed up many of the TS licenses I installed originally, leaving temporary licenses for our branch offices.

Has anyone come across a way to permanently remove licenses from the issuing server? I can remove them from the workstations; however they will only receive temporary licenses again....I wish to remove the original licenses that were issued during testing.

Thanks!

This is a known problem. Go to either the MIcrosoft or Citrix sites and search foir the thread. You basically have to relicense TS through Microsoft. We went through this about a mointh ago.

Thanks for the reply, actually I am already aware of those; I called Microsoft yesterday, so there should be no problems with that. Honestly, I would prefer an "alternative" method so that when employees leave etc, I don't have to screw around trying to use what I have already paid for!

Personally, I am a getting a little more than sick of Microsoft's crap. When I pay money to obtain proper licenses, I shouldn't be dealyed for one SECOND by their ridiculous games....but then what can you do when they are the only game in town?
