MS Remote desktop connection license problems

Where does MS RDC store it's license information on the Macintosh? I've been
converting old iBooks in our inventory into remote desktop clients for our
offsite workers. After X Number of connect attempts it locks them out saying
something about licensing. The only way I have been able to get around it is
by formatting and reinstalling the OS/software. Any suggestions would be
Helpful. Is this a Client or server problem?

Thanks!

Hi Kevin!

Have a look at this link on Microsoft's site
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/187614>.

"The RDP client for Macintosh stores the license in a file on the local
computer in the folder hierarchy under /users/Shared/Microsoft/RDC
Crucial Server Information/. To clean the Macintosh client's license
cache, delete the contents of this folder. The client will try to obtain
a new license from the server the next time that it connects."

Hope this helps! bill
