terminal sever sbs2000 temporary license error

I have a TS2000 with ten open CAL's.  Of the 10, 8 are shown to be in use.  I have one user who is getting the error "Your remote services license will expire in 13 days.  Please contact your admin to get a permanent license."  
From what I can tell, I still have two additional licenses.   Why would he be assigned a temp license?  Is there any way to resolve the issue?

Somehow the client was issued a temporary license and this temporary license cannot be upgraded.
You can force the client to get a new license by removing this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MSLicensing

I hope this helps!

Well,  the user is able to access the terminal server but it looks like it reissued anohter temporary license.  I checked the TS License Manager  and it did not assign a permanent license.  He is using XP Home.  The two remaining licenses are still showing as available.
