I installed a terminal server (member server) on a SBS network and am now
getting the following pop up on the desktops: "Your terminal services
temporary client license will expire in 7 days. Please contact your system
administrator to get a permanent license." Is this anything that I need to
worry about? Will the permanent licenses start working without having to do
anything? If there is something I need to do, what is it? Help!

Did you buy TS CALs and install the Terminal Service Licensing bits on your
SBS box? (that's where I'd put them). Then you need to launch & activate
them/it. Then you point the TS box at the TS licensing server.

And if you already installed permanent TS CALs on an LS (which your
post seems to suggest), does the licensing mode of your TS match the
type of licenses that you installed, i.e. Per User / Per Device?

I haven't looked at the CALs since December, do they say whether they are
device r user?

I just looked on my server. The temp CALs are device CALs and the actual CALs
are per user. Is this going to cause any problems, and if so, can I change
the CALs to device CALs?
