[MacTUG] MS Remote Desktop Connection license expiry?

[Marlon A. Griffith]

Outcomes thus far:

Stephen - unfortunately, it did not work

Dani- thanks for the reference; I had found another open source client as well... CoRD, http://cord.sourceforge.net/

Marko - unfortunately, that is the program the students are having problems with.
