It isn't rdesktop that is the problem. It would be your temporary TS access license expiring. The only way I can think of to trick it is change the name of your pc connecting to it. It may issue a new temporary license then. There used to be an option, -l I think, that was for "don't request a license". But it looks like it was done away with. Do you have any purchased TS CAL's at all for the server? If so, rdesktop should pick one up just fine. At least it has for me. I use it at the office and at home to login remotely. Haven't had a problem with either. If not, I dunno. You may have to pay the devil.
