Re: Rdesktop 1.5 and Windows Server 2003 Licensesper DEVICE trouble

Hello all,
 
i just will open a case at Microsoft to request more informations according linux/rdesktop and terminal services licensing. If i will get some news i will post them here.
 
In the meantime, perhaps we should also post this to the developer list, or is any developer reading this.
 
Any comments from the develop team possible.. 8-))..Also accordign to the gpl code from neoware7wyse and all other rdesktop vendor users.. 8-)
 
Thanks a lot.
 
bye
Roman

	Roman, I called Microsoft when I had the licensing problem and they told me to change my license configuration to per user, even though I had per device cals if that Is any help with setting your bosses mind at ease.

	Hello Michael, Hello Kevin

	 

	thanks for that. But in my company it´s cheaper to have per Device CAL´s as we have 3 -5 Users per Device with 7x24 hours work time. If we have to invest in per User CALS there is the problem 8-)...

	And my BOSS want´s to be on the good site with licenses 8-))..

	 

	any other help... Where have the old save license code from rdesktop 1.4 gone ??

	 

	Thanks for help..

	bye

	Roman

		You don't have to contact the clearing house.
		Simply change the licensing mode on the terminal server(s) you are connecting to.

		Licensing for Per Device doesn't work in 2003, and never has.  Swap the TS
		to per user, and it's fine.

		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.

		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 ?
		 
		 
		Thanks a lot
		Roman
