Terminal Server Per User Licenses
After installing
Per User licenses to a terminal server I was made aware (after 87 days) that they weren't working properly.
Please ensure that the licensing mode on the terminal server is set to Per User. License management is not available for Per User CALs at this time.
Apparently, the default licensing mode is Per Device and has to be switched as mentioned in this Microsoft document which I have quoted below:
Using Terminal Services Configuration
Open Terminal Services Configuration.
In the console tree, click Server Settings.
In the details pane, right-click Licensing Mode, and then click Properties.
Select either Per User or Per Device, and then click OK.
A Per Device CAL gives each client computer or device the right to access a terminal server that is running Windows Server 2003. A Per User CAL gives one user the right to access a terminal server from an unlimited number of devices.
Attention, this only applies to Windows Server 2003 . Server 2000 only has per device licensing capabilities.
