when i open MS Terminal Server Licencing i see:

Product: Temporary Licences for WIndows 2003 - Terminal Server Per Device CAL Token
Type: Temporary
Total: -
Available: -
Issued: 23


Product: WIndows 2003 - Terminal Server Per User CAL Token
Type: Open
Total: 5
Available: 5
Issued: Not Applicable
WS2003 gives you 90 days free, with terminal services.

Did you activate the licenses?

Check it out:  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325869

/F
before the 90 day free period ended - we installed the CALs on the server
the Licence server has been activated.
Are the licenses visible from within the license console?

/F
If i expand All servers and then the License server and click "WIndows 2003 - Terminal Server Per User CAL Token"
All the fields (ie "issued to", "issued on", "expires on" and "quantity") are all set to "not applicable"

thanks oBdA,
I had already figured that out last night, and so far so good, no users were reporting any problems.
but seeing as though changing the user mode is the solution to this problem, and i did not advise yesterday i think it is fair that i award you with the 400 pts, and "firebear" with 100 - as he also gave me an idea on where to look.

does that sound fair to you?
Sure, no problem for me.
thanks for the points and the consideration
