i think they give you 90 days to connect with a tempoary license and then you have to provide a real one. i read that licensing info is kept on the client machine by the license server.
i'm just wondering what this means if i have to issue someone a new pc. will i lose the license? can i copy it over? do i need to call the org i got the license from and get a new one?


The license info is definitely kept on the license server. An available license is issued for 90 days. If the license server can determine that you are "re-connecting" from the same machine, the same license will be used. If not, a new license will be assigned (even if the computer name is the same). I'm not sure what method it uses to determine that, but it can be quite annoying at times if you don't have a lot of licenses free. :-)

My guess is that if you give someone a new pc, it will issue a new license. You will not be able to use the previous license until its expiration date (look at Terminal Server Licensing in Administrative Tools).

The license info is kept on the license server. You can't "reset" a license without uninstalling and reinstalling the license server service and calling Microsoft to re-activate your licenses. Licenses will be released on their own every 90 days (i think).
