I keep getting a error that SMBServer 5.0 on Windows 2000 Server is exceeding it's per Server license, but cannot find out where to do a license for this. I do find it in the registry with nothing but a default entry. Can someone enlighten me on this issue?

It's a dodgy issue... per seats, or per stations?

The only place you will[not] find this info is M$.

M$ are going all out to 'protect' and try to save the licence issue's... Linux is starting to scare 'em. Hence any new machine now has the key stuck on the machine...

I think M$ are really getting worried. I deal [i]or try to with similar problems on NT4... each server problem often contains dubious messages, yet following the destructions, you end up with no real solution[s].

M$ are the only people who can help at this stage until the W2000 O/S has been hacked.
