Re: TS Device CAL not releasing after expiration
From:

Q: Expired TS CALs are not returned to the pool of available
licenses
A: If Microsoft's Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) is running on
the server, it could stop the thread on the TS License Server which
reclaims expired licenses.
Stop and restart the TS Licensing Service - it will restart the
thread, and, if the bug is the culprit, expired licenses will be
returned to the pool of available licenses within a couple of
minutes after the service is restarted.
