Re: OT: SBS 2003 Cals

[Wayne <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hiya!
iirc - SBS servers are set up in whats called 'per server' license mode,
which basically means - no license - no connection - error on workstation.

No way round :( - (ok you buy more licenses).

Real pain in the a$$ in the early days of sbs as the license server
sometimes sometimes forgot to remove disconnected users - leaving ghost
users in the system - which then filled up - customer phones up 'cant
connect to server' (or was usually the case - 'word wont load and I cant
print' - and thats after them neglecting to say that they ignored all
the previous messages that told them they were out of licenses!)

ah - computers :)
Wayne.
