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.
