No, that's what I meant with "unmanaged". Per User licenses are
actually never issued, so the Total and Available counters will
stay what they are.
Documented here:
822134 - The Function of Terminal Server CALs in Windows Server
2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=822134
But as long as your TS is configured to use Per User licenses and
you do *not* see any more temporary Per Device licenses issued,
then everthing is working as it should.
You'll have to keep track of the number of connecting users in some
other way, to be sure that you are compliant with the EULA. That's
easiest done by making sure that only 5 user accounts are members
of the Remote Desktop Users group on the TS.
