I have been dealing w/M$ support and can't get a straight answer out of "India"? Does anyone know the secret to revoking expired CALs?

Edit: These are Win2k TS CALs

The only way I know of is the deactivate the server and then reativate it with the current licenses.

Good luck.

Yeah, I've been down this road. Talked to the "Clearinghouse" (India) no one knew what the hell I was talking about! This is in a HUGE Citrix Farm w/thousands of TS CAL's. Since the Farm came up in '01, not one single CAL has "expired" (been released). Damndest thing!!!

PS: Hey Tig, hope all is well with you!!! :)

But I suppose it's Microsoft- publish a KB fix that points in an invalid direction. Sheesh!

I'm doing good, PSer. Learning to use my new Mac. And trying to stay ahead of the holiday curve. It isn't long before I need to start fund raising for the next 3 Day walk. Trying to reach $10,000 this year!

Yeah, F'in M$ and their TS Licensing BS! It is driving me CRAZY! What's even more bizarre is in the TS licensing console all my CAL's show 0 available and 0 issued but over 7,000 temps issued? I just wanna know "why" but nobody at M$ has been able to answer my questions. Oh well, I guess it's a "feature"! ;)

WooHoo!!! A Mac ... I L-O-V-E my Macs!!! After dealing with M$ at work all day every day, it's nice to use something that just WORKS at home! Best thing about M$ is that M$ IS what it IS or a whole heck of a lot of us would NOT have jobs! :)

Anyway, much luck on your $10,000 goal!! I'll do my part to help you get close ... and one to grow on! If anyone can do it you can.

Take care and enjoy your new Mac (I KNOW you will)!
