| when I try to run rdesktop -f <IP> I get 'disconnect: No valid license available.' I know that it works becasue we can do it on other machines. Anyone have any idea on why this would be happening? |

I *guess* your licensing method is "per machine" and you did not setup a license for your linux computer you're trying to connect from. If you change your licensing method to "per connection" it should work.

The only thing is is that I was able to connect just last week. Everything was working fine.
I have not changed any configurations on this end or on the box I am trying to get to. |

This is a symptom of using the incorrect licensing method on the server. On the windows RDP client, there is a registry key to delete when you get this error.
| Code: | | [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\MSlicensing] |
possibly there's some licensing file/key in your home directory you can delete? alernatively, i've seen people report success using the option "--built-in-license" when starting rdesktop. I've not tried it, because so far, I've not had that problem. |

I'm an idiot.
The person that setup the terminal licenses didn't purchase any, rather we were just going off of temporary ones. I uninstalled the terminal services and then reinstalled and now we have licenses for the next 120 days.
Thanks for you input though guys. |

I have the same problem, i tried to delete the .rdesktop folder under the user's /home but it didn't work.
In this moment i don't know what i could try.

this is a workaround
i've just seen that if you know the hostname's owner of a valid MS license (CAL o temp license) you can use it this way:
| Code: | rdesktop -n 'hostname' serverhostname
