Re: sbs2003 license

HI Ponch,

Thanks for updates.

>From your description, you want to know when you have 35 user to connect to
the SBS domain, does the server will disconnect the other user if you only
35 license.

As I know, if you only have 36 user, you will not be disconnected, instead
you may receive the warning message on event view to mention that you need
to add new CAL, if you want to know the detailed maximum number of user
that you can connect to SBS domain, if you only have 35 CAL, it is your
best interest to call license office.

Thanks for your understanding on this issue.



Best regards,

Charles Yang (MSFT)
