Mike,
The PU license is the personal use license that are specific to a
person but this person may use it on up to 5 (?, may be 3) machines.
This morning was the first time I noticed that it behaves different
from a regular license. In order to prevent multiple people from
accessing such license on a terminal server, a check was implemented to
avoid license abuse. Makes sense, but remote desktop control is not the
same as terminal server use and it prevented me (temporarily) from
getting my work done. But not for long... :-)

Cheers,
Haje
