Terminal Server License Manager reports but does not enforce licensing. If an RDP client is denied access to the server when it tries to make a connection, increasing the license count in Terminal Server License Manager will not resolve the problem. Client Access Licenses must be added to License Manager. These licenses are good for 60 days. The RDP client making use of a temporary license will continue to do so for the full 60 days even if new licenses are added.
After 60 days, the client's temporary license will expire, and the client will get a new license either a temporary license if no normal licenses are available, or one of the new licenses that have been added. Logging on at the Terminal Server console uses one Client Access License, but this is not reflected in the license count in License Manager. In the event that only one Client Access License is available, RDP clients at the console or elsewhere will not be able to connect even though the License Manager in-use license count is zero.
This is different from normal licensing behavior because administrators can always log on at the console or connect to the server remotely even if no licenses are available.
Administrators must log on at the Terminal Server console, or access the server by means other than the RDP client, if the Terminal Server runs out of licenses. When an RDP client is denied access, the client will receive the generic message: Terminal Server has ended the connection. Computers running Windows for Workgroups 3. Terminal Server License Manager creates seven temporary files in the System32 directory.
The temporary files are called JET1. These files are used to temporarily store newly created licenses. It is possible to have more than seven JETx. Quick access. Search related threads.

The TechNet license terms have always restricted use of downloaded software and product keys to evaluation scenarios.
Their use in live operating scenarios, including staging or production environments, is specifically prohibited. The software that subscribers download from TechNet is identical to the versions Microsoft provides to its retail and enterprise customers.
And there are no Microsoft detectives hunting down customers who flout those license terms and run TechNet software on production systems. The last retail TechNet subscriptions will run out on September 30, When that day comes, TechNet subscribers will lose the ability to sign in to the TechNet servers and download from the software stored there, nor will they be able to claim additional product keys.
Software and keys that have been acquired from TechNet and saved to local storage will continue to work, but no new or replacement downloads will be available. For them, the almost free ride is almost over. But that leaves a large number of customers who have a legitimate business need to install and use Microsoft software for evaluation and testing.
Microsoft offers multiple programs at a variety of price ranges—starting with free—that offer access to its software, including Windows desktop clients, Windows servers, and multiple versions of Microsoft Office. None of these programs is identical to TechNet, but hopefully one of the alternatives will meet your needs. The paid subscriptions service may be riding off into the sunset, but the free TechNet Evaluation Center lives on.
This program allows you to download and install full-featured evaluation versions of Microsoft software, which you can run on physical hardware or in virtual machines. All of these downloads are time-bombed. When the clock runs out, they stop working or shift into reduced functionality mode. But the evaluation periods should long enough to do some very thorough testing. If you develop or manage websites, you have a legitimate need to test your sites to make sure they run on modern versions of Internet Explorer.
To make that testing possible, Microsoft has created a comprehensive set of virtual machines that run combinations of operating systems and browsers. You can pick them up from the Internet Explorer Dev Center, which is cleverly named modern.
