I have a small network with thin clients and desktops connecting to the W2K-server through Terminal Services Cals. These are installed as Device-Cals, not as User-cals. Recently I had to replace some of the thin clients, but now those clients cannot connect to the server, because the server says all licenses are used. I guess they are somehow bound to some kind of device-ID. <br />

Is there a way I can reset some CALs to accept the new devices, without having to reinstall everything?

Resetting Terminal Services Licenses

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
