Hi all, just a quick question, we've got 25 device cals on our 2008 RDS Server, which are all now issued.

Now we don't actually have that many machines but a load have been used up because we renamed some machines so effectively using up double the amount of CAL's than needed.

If I revoke the ones not in use, am I right in assuming it will free them up back into the license pool, and then they will just drop off when they hit the expiration date? I'm aware you can only revoke 20% of your total pool.
 
If you get into a bind, you can remove the TSCAL licensing database, reactivate the server and add the CALs to it again - will give you a blank slate.
