WE recently changed our licensing model with Microsoft, and I need to reinstall a bunch of T CALs for Server 2008 (not R2). &nbsp;In 2008 R2, you can go to RD Licensing Manager &gt;&nbsp;right-click Server &gt;&nbsp;choose Manage Licenses and then remove the CALs.<br />
<br />
But in 2008 non-R2, that Manage LIcenses option isn't there. &nbsp;So how do I get rid of all the current CALs so I can install my new ones?
