hi,
from description, understand ts licensing server issues 2 temporary cal same machine.
based on past experience, problems caused following reasons:
1. different machines using same name.
2. same machine got cal once , re-built , due new installation got new hardware id , when connected again ts server got cal.
3. ms licensing registry key manually deleted , due client got new hardware id.
since windows 2000 sp3, behavior of deciding license expiration period changed. expiration period random number of days between 52-89 days of issuance. when client connects terminal server, date checked. if expiration within 7 days, terminal server connects license server , renews ts cal token, giving expiration period of 52-89 days. more information change, please refer to:
