What Jeremy said - but if you want to use License Manager anyway, you can
reset it by following the procedures outlined in Technet Q153140 or Q194065.

I was having allot of issues when trying to use the MS Licensing Manager.
After a call to Microsoft the tech told me that he wouldn't us that program
and its still very buggy.
So I stopped using it.

That's the way I understand the CAL licensing, per seat anyway. However, if
you look at the license manager it logs on a per user and does not contain
anything about other devices. I've also found a lot of peculiarities about
the license manager, what it stores, and when it says I am out of licenses.
These are:
1. If a user accidentally types over the domain name when logging into the
network it logs a license used by wrongdomain\user.
2. Any NT machine that had a machine account on the network shows up
forever, even if that machine account is deleted. It also logs any instance
of another user logging onto that machine.
3. Accounts that have been deleted 4 years ago still show up.
4. Accounts and access from our old corporate WAN that hasn't been
connected for 2 years still show up.
5. About once every two weeks it says I'm out of licenses, so I go in to
product view and one-by-one revoke used licenses generated by all of the
above. Two weeks later they are all back again.
Fabulous programming I think.
