Terminal services per device licensing and thin clients
I have noted that sometimes some Wyse thin clients would require new device CAL from terminal services licensing every time they boot.
This is bug in Wyse firmware and it should be fixed by Wyse support team. It is only on some particular devices.
Why is this important?
Lets say you have 50 thin clients and 50 device CAL for terminal services. If one device request two licenses one device will not be able to connect as there is no device CAL available no more.
You will ask Wyse team to help you and their answer is trivial: change terminal services licensing in per user mode!
This is only temporary fix. This way you will need to track available user CALs by yourself. Why is this soltuion from Wyse. It is because terminal CAL are not tracked in per user mode, per user mode is fully implemented only in windows 2008 server terminal services.
They should fix this bug ASAP.
