Hi,

I have a client eho has been using the RDP client for Mac for about 2
months, but now he get an error every time when he connects:
--------------------
You were disconnected from the Windows-based computer because of problems
during the licensing protocol. Try reconnecting to the Windows-based
computer, or contact your administrator. Cancel / Reconnect
--------------------
I know how to solve the issue on a PC (delete the mslicensing key in the
registry), but can someone tell me how to resolve this on a Mac?
Thanks.

Eeeh, the way to solve this problem, both for PC's and Mac's, is to
actually buy and install licenses. Repeatedly deleting the key from
the registry is a violation of the EULA.
