I have run into this "temporary license will expire in n days" problem when using rdesktop v1.3.1. I found an old thread on the subject: http://www.rdesktop.org/old-archive/2002/msg00053.html Unfortunately it doesn't appear that recent archives are available, so this may have been discussed previously. The workaround with -n <new-client-hostname> does seem to work, but is there a way to induce the server to hand out a new temporary license; to license the rdesktop client by importing a license key or something, or a version of the '--built-in-license' that still exists (the link in the old message is bad)? -- Jeremy |

You need to hack source code, and change the indentifier of rdesktop as appears to a Terminal Server (I think the identifier is defined in rdp.c or rdp.h). I've done it and it works.

I dont know too much about the hack - but in windows, it is a registry tweak, the license key is actually stored on the client machine, if you delete it, it in essence induces a new temporary license from the server === now how one does that via rdesktop is beyond me -- but if something is easy in windows, then it has to be better over here..right?

It appears that something on the server "remembers" the client hostname and its temporary license, and gives the same one back to you. So you can change the client hostname with -n and fix it (until 90 days pass then you can use a new one) but I'm wondering if there's a permanent fix not using that workaround. The analogy to the operation you're talking about is to remove the licence.hostname file from ~/.rdesktop, I believe, which I did try.

not on my win2k boxes .. if I nuke the registry entry for the license, it gives another, and you can see multiple license handouts on the tsrv license manager for the same host.... now for the response about buying TSCALS - yes - that is done, however, changing station host names, etc...WIN2K holds on to them, and I havent been successful in freeing them up to give out to a different device..... so - I needed to do this, even though licensed fully On Wed, 25 Aug 2004 13:42:43 -0700, Jeremy Brinkley <jer...@ba...> wrote: > It appears that something on the server "remembers" the client hostname and > its temporary license, and gives the same one back to you.

Hi, Remove and install again the windows terminal server licensing service on your winbox.

It sounds to me that there's a bug in license manager that not permits to remove licenses assigned. I've heard that sp4 solves this. Someone heard about it?
