We have 10 device Cal for TS for 10 devices,
what is happening if I need to replace a device by a new one ,
so hardware replacement , is this new device accepted by the Terminal
licences server ?
So how does this work for device Cal's ?

Thanks
Jac

Client hardware replacement doesn't give you any licensing problems
(assuming you run at least W2K SP3 or higher on the TS and the TS
Licensing Server).

TS CALs have an expiration date of 52-89 days after issueing.
Licenses that are not used (because the client does not
connect to the TS anymore) will automatically be returned to the LS
after the expiration date. In the meantime, your new clients will get
a temporary TS CAL, which is valid for 90 days.

Note that these time periods are choosen to make sure that your
temporary license lasts long enough for the old license to become
available again.
