Hello we are using nearly 150 Thin Clients with rdesktop 1.5 in our Terminal Server farm. We use Per Device CAL´s. Our users have the Problem that sometime ( sooner or later ) every user gets an Application popup at Logon Time from the server, that the license will expire in 7 (6 , 5 ,4 ,3 ,2, ,1 ) days and they should contact the admin. If i check the License Server i see some infos about the clients. Lsreport output: Server License ID Keypack ID Client User Start End Issue Type License Type HardwareID dc00 779 3 xp11 bob 27.06.2006 26.05.2007 Upgraded A02-5.02-S dc00 1024 3 thin3 root 21.08.2006 24.06.2007 Active A02-5.02-S dc00 3216 4 thin4 16.04.2007 15.07.2007 Temporary A02-5.02-S dc00 3218 4 thin4 16.04.2007 15.07.2007 Temporary A02-5.02-S dc00 3220 4 thin4 16.04.2007 15.07.2007 Temporary A02-5.02-S dc00 3221 4 thin4 16.04.2007 15.07.2007 Temporary A02-5.02-S dc00 3223 4 thin4 16.04.2007 15.07.2007 Temporary A02-5.02-S I found thins here from Brian Madden which says that rdesktop can´t handle licenseing right. http://www.brianmadden.com/content/content.asp?ID=670 Any way to come around this. Or do i have to change from per Device to per USER cal ? Any help or Info would be great. How does Neoware/Igel/Wyse or other Thin Client vendors which use Linux and rdesktop do the trick ? Where is the GPL Code they changed ?
