[rdesktop-users] Internal Licensing Error

[Muñoz D. J. <jav...@ju...>]

Hi! First message here!

I've been looking around a bit, but I can't find a solution for this
problem.

I have some thin clients connecting to a Windows 2003 Terminal Server.
When a client connects for first time, the TS gives it a temporary
license, although the server has enough free per devices licenses.

I've read that the client might save a license token somewhere under
~/.rdesktop, but this is not working.

I've also read that this feature is actually not working, so I'm a bit
confused. Does this folder need special permissions?

When the temporary license ends, I cannot connect anymore, and have to
reinstall the os on the thin clients, in order to make them work again.

I know I could use the parameter to change the hostname in the rdesktop
command, but I don't have very clear the legal implications of doing it.

I'm using rdesktop v1.6, but I could change this version without problems.

I can provide more info if needed.

Thanks in advance

Javi
