Device CALs and Sprint EVDO modems

I occasionally access a (2003) server configured for device CALs via a
Sprint EVDO USB modem attached to a macbook by way of ssh'ing to a
firewall and setting up the RDP session via tunnel/port forward.

Each time I connect via the modem, the License Server sees it as a
different device , ip octet (dot) "area1". Sprint does not offer
static IPs. I am looking for suggestions on how would I get the
License Server to recognize (and re-recognize) this computer (or at
least the modem) as one device? This is not an issue when tunneling
while using the wi-fi adapter or over wire from the same notebook, in
which case it recognizes it as the same computer regardless of the
interface. I feel like I am missing something simple here.

Thank you and best regards,

Michael
 
How much is that occasionally?
Terminal services will purge CAL if it is not used in random period of days
between 52-89 days of issuance.

A few times/week. Currently, I see 12 temporary and 3 non-temp
licenses generated for the same device.

There is no way to prohibit TSL from generating new CAL for the device that
is not in database, meaning not connected before.
You can try to change licensing mode in per user, I don't know if this
would help you?

Thanks for the suggestion. I considered per user, but this is the
only device that needs to connect via this method. My next step is to
contact sprint and find out what kind of sanitization is going on that
causes the device to appear as something unseen before each time.
