I had a Win2003 configured with "Per Device" TSCAL and, as far as I can
remember, rdesktop clients were issued permanent licenses. But even if the
temporary license expires and a permanent one is not issued, use the -n
option of rdesktop to connect using a different hostname.

If you configure "Per User" TSCAL, Win2003 doesn't even manage the licenses
for ANY client...
