Windows NT Open License Installed however clients still taking temporary lice

[Shaun EN]

We purchased 10 Open License TSE Cals and installed and activated the license
server and all is well with that. However the new clients are still grabbing
the temporary licenses. I have gone to HKEY Local
Machine\Software\Microsoft\MSLicensing and deleted that whole key. However
when device connects to the Terminal Server again it grabs another Temp
License. How do we stop this? We purchased Device CALs.

Thanks
Shaun

I suppose your clients are Windows machines?

When a client first connects the license server _always_ issues a
temporary license which is converted into a permanent license upon the
second successful logon.

I hope this helps.

Yes they are windows machines. To be specific they are WYSE Thin clients.
I'm wondering if the "Write Disabled" feature is going to affect this.
Might have to do some testing.

Thanks

Yes, although I'd be surprised if it was interfering, it doesn't
actually do anything anymore.

Re: Open License Installed however clients still taking temporary

I removed the write protect on the device and rebooted it twice and connected
to the Terminal Server and still the same issue. However some other devices
are now connecting via the Open License. Very weird, there is no consistency
on what MS says about the way it connects.

I'll play it by ear for the next few days and see what happens. However the
Workstations have had no issues, just the Thin Devices.
