Re: License Count in Small Business Server 2000

others have asked that same question, and I cannot find an alternative
solution yet.

Hi,

Wondering if anyone can help.
I'm about to do an upgrade project for a customer.
SBS 2000 -> SBS 2003 Premium R2 Upgrade using the Retail purchased upgrade
packs.
As part of that, I need to know how many licenses the customer currently
has
for SBS 2000.
It was purchased as OEM originally and there's no record anywhere written
down.

Now, I know the "correct" method of finding out the number of installed
licenses.
SBS Administrator Console->Server Status (BackOffice Home)->About

As per:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;296052

However, this doesn't work. For some reason, the Server Status page is
broken and nothing is shown, therefore I can't click the about button. I'm
not particularly fussed about fixing this at the moment as the Upgrade
will
remove the SBS2000 version of this console anyway. However, I do still
need
to know the number of installed liceneses.

Anyone know any other method?
Is it stored in the registry anywhere?

Thanks in advance.
