Your terminal services temporary client license will expire 2

[humour]

I am getting the following message:
Your terminal services temporary client license will expire in 4 days. Please contact your system administrator to get a permanent license.

I HAVE installed permanent licenses but the license-server is not issuing them. I read a Microsoft KB that said I have to switch the server to per-user mode licensing. But I dont know how to do that.....

I dont know what the solution is, any help appreciated.... I am on a "countdown"

I´d say: Don´t worry. I have had the same issue on my domain. When the licence expires, the client will pull a new one (permanent licence), if there are some in the pool.

According to a MS KB article I need to change the TS configuration available as a Separate Administration executable - there was a mode setting - changed it from PER Device to Per user.....

Seems to have solved the problem - got my fingers crossed.

Just a quick note to say I have seen this problem with several clients and just today had a license server issue prevent all of my terminal server users from signing on.
The issue was a bug in the terminal server not being able to "see" the license server. I had to add a value to the registry on the terminal server. I had to call microsoft for the value, below is the KB article they pointed me to.
