Hello,

Trying this again.

I have recently completed my migration from MF XP on W2K to PS 4.5 on W2K3. Completely decommisioned old farm and servers(6) and 2K TS License server.
I use WYSE S10's and 1125's to connect to my farm published desktop and apps.

I have plenty of TS cals for my user base but have currently run out of TS licenses. When I look at my TS License I noticed that I have a bunch of licenses issued (about 60) to my old 2K TS/Citrix boxes. I had 6 servers in my old farm, so each one is issued multiple licenses.
These license have expiration dates starting end of this month and running through Oct. I know they will return to the available pool when they expire, but the bulk of them are a couple of weeks away.

I would like to try to reclaim these now. MS clearing house wont reissue me licenses, told me to reinstall TS licensing.

If I deactivate, uninstall, reinstall and reactivate what affect will that have on my currently issued TS lic to my WYSE units? Will those still be good until they expire and then they will just be reissued a new one from the new install? Or will they throw errors at me right away?
I have a couple of S10's that will not connect and aren't issued a temp lic.

Any help suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Bruce

I cant help much with this specifically, Im not sure what it would do... I do know that there is no mechanism to "force" a reclaim of your licenses.

Might be worth checking this out though:

Hi Bruce,

If you uninstall TS licensing and then reinstall it your Wyse terminals should only ask for a new licence when their renewal date is up. I have had a similar problem in that we had an old Wyse terminal that was requesting multiple licences and therefore using all the licences up. I uninstalled TS licensing then re-installed it and added the licences back into the pool and everything was fine for me. This was a little while ago so can't completely remember if all the Wyse terminals requested a licence when they logged on or if it was just terminals that didn't previously have a licence that requested a new one. Either way it didn't through up any problems.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Chris,

Thanks for the reply. That's what I was looking for. Someone that may of had similar issue with WYSE units.
I'm thinking I will go ahead and do the reinstall and see what happens.

Thanks again

Bruce
