TS Licensing Query

hi guys,  i have issue im not quite sure why happening.

i running wink2k8 standard , has 4 ts cal's available use.  the issue have when 3 of 4 cal's being used, final cal not allow user connect.  when check ts host manager, see there 3 active connections , 0 inactive.  i assume mean there 1 cal still available however, when try login, error "cannot connect remote computer".  when logoff existing connection , there 2 live connections, new connection can established.

there listener, services , console in "sessions" tab.  i unsure services user disconnected , not refresh.  could related our citrix environment?

finally, when check ts licensing manager, shows there 4 installed cal's (which correct) 9 cal's in use.  how check other 5 connections being used?

any appreciated.

kind regards,

hi,

please make sure rdp-tcp listener set allow unlimited connections.  may set in terminal services configuration (tsconfig.msc), double-click on rdp-tcp, network adapter tab.

terminal services licensing not concurrent, either per unique device connects or per unique user (person) connects.  example, if have total of 10 different pcs users use connect server via remote desktop need total of 10 per device rds/ts cals since each pc needs license.  licensing perspective not matter if 4 users maximum connected to the server simultaneously.

based on have written need purchase additional per device rds/ts cals since have used total of 9 different devices connect server , have 4 purchased cals.  other cals temporary , when expire users no longer able connect from devices.

thanks.
