tarantella tscal free [ --inuseby user | --calid id ]
Use the tarantella tscal free command to free a
Microsoft Windows Terminal Services Client Access License (CAL)
so that it may be used by another non-Windows client.
You can only free a CAL if the user has no emulator sessions which use Windows Terminal Services.
Note Freed CALs are not returned to the Windows license server.
You should not need to run this command as Tarantella automatically frees a CAL as soon as a user exits their last Windows application. However, if a Tarantella server is removed from an array or it loses contact with the array, it may still be listed as using CALs. In this situation, you can run this command to free a CAL.
If you do not use any arguments, the command frees all CALs that have no emulator sessions which use Windows Terminal Services.
If you run this command on a secondary server in a Tarantella array and the primary server is unavailable, the CAL information may not be completely accurate. This is because the primary server is responsible for updating all array members with changes to CAL information. The command warns you if the primary is unavailable.
