Has anyone had RDC 1.0.3 working fine then for some reason decides it
doesn't want to anymore? (Server does not respond) It has to be
something with my Powerbook G4 17" since others on my network are still
functioning fine. I have done the usual software updates for Office
11.2 and Panther 10.3.9. Are there any prefs or cache files to flush???

Thanks,
Billy

Hi Billy!

When you mention "Server" do you mean a Windows Terminal Server? While
the RDC client is free, the ability to use it with a Terminal Server is
not. RDC clients are allowed a 90-day evaluation period after which a TS
license needs to be purchased and added to the server.

Once you have a license purchased and installed on the TS then you can
delete the locally stored temporary license found in /Users/Shared. Keep
in mind that while this may reset your ability to connect, your 90-day
trial has expired and you are expected to pay for a license.

Hope this helps! bill

We are connecting to a WIN2000 TS. It did give the "license expires"
messages in the beginning and I purchased a 5 user license for the
Macs. I am the only one of four Macs that can no longer remote in on
the LAN. It will allow me in through dialup???

You mentioned deleting the locally stored temporary license. I'll try
that next.

Thanks,
Billy

That's it!! Deleting the temp file in RDC client preferences folder
renewed my ability to connect. Thanks a million Bill.
