Your terminal services temporary client license will expire in 12 days

[SBM16]

Some of our thin clients and regular clients
are getting this error message when logging into Citrix:

Application popup: Terminal Services Warning : Your terminal services temporary client license will expire in 12 days.
Please contact your system administrator to get a permanent license.

We only have 30 licenses and they are all being used so the temp licenses cannot grab one from the license server. I was wondering how to delete or remove some of the current machines under the 30 licenses or if we just need to buy more licenses?

Current machine: Windows 2000 Server
SP: Service Pack 4

I also found this in the application log:
The terminal server cannot issue a client license.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

You cant delete liceses from the database without creating a new license database. This would require reactivation and reinstallation of the licenses.

If a client that currently has a license doesnt attempt to renew it (like if it is turned off), the license will be returned to the pool after 90 days.

If you have 30 licenses and they are all being used, your best bet is to buy more.

Doesnt sound like that is the case here. The licenses are being handed out correctly, there just aren't enough of them.
