Have a windows 2000 server with terminal services installed. This server is integrated in a novell network. The server has licenses for 10 users and also terminal server license for 10 users. The users login via novell client. I only have 5 users logging in, but I am getting a warning message that the terminal server license is almost reached. When I look at terminal server manager, I only see 6 users. I notice that the users printers come over from their local machines. Do these take up sessions also. I did not set this server up, but I noticed that the license are temporary. Expiration date is in July of this year. Server was set up in application mode. Users are accessing apps. Where are the other 4 licenses? thanks.

It sounds like perhaps your terminal server licensing is not set up correctly. In order to properly license terminal server clients, you need to set up a license server for Terminal Server. The license server then issues the licenses automaticallyto clients as they connect. If there's no license server, then the clients are issued temporary licenses that expire in 90 days. This sounds like what's happening to you. I'm going to send you by email a (rather lengthy but informative) article on client licensing for Terminal Server. Hope this helps!
