Does anyone know of a way to revoke a Terminal Server Client licence on the TS licence server?
I have machines that are still allocated a licence, that are no longer on the system. Their licence may not run out for another 30 days or more. I think MS are introducing this feature in the next server version (2008), but wondered if anyone knew of a way to do this safely in Windows 2003 server.
 
There is no way that i have ever heard of to revoke a TS token, but you really shouldnt need to. Here is the trick, if you are out of TS CALs a new client will get a temp TS CAL that is good for 90 days, by the end of the 90 days any tokens issued will have expired in 52 to 89 days. So if you replace a dead client with a new one all should be fine.

Thanks for that.
That is what I have been working on, it would have just been nice to release a few more licences. Still you can't have everything.
I had to get onto MS a while back because I had some machines taking more than one licence, this seems to have settled down now. What would we do without good old MS!!!!!
