Yes.  It makes it too easy to get around licencing - I think that some
people would use it illegally to avoid buying licences.  This would
create a bad name for rdesktop, and put Microsoft and legitimate vendors
offside.

If the licence server is not giving you a permanent licence even though
you have permanent licences available then that is a separate problem.
