Hi, <br />
<br />
The license server will never decrement the Per-User CAL pool(s) as these licenses are unmanaged. &nbsp;This goes with the whole honorary system for accepting MS licensing agreement. &nbsp;In order to be compliant with the EULA then you must have a CAL for concurrent users. <br />

I have a Windows 2003 terminal server that is pointing to a Windows 2003 TS licensing server (in domain/workgroup mode) with licenses installed and activated. &nbsp;However, when a client logs on to the terminial server, the number of available CALs is not decremented on the TS licensing server. &nbsp;This terminal server is also a Citrix XenApp server. &nbsp;The Citrix licensing server is decremented Citrix CALs though. &nbsp;What could be reason that the TS licensing server is not decrementing the CALs?
