Server licensing problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi there,

SBS 2003, some users can't logon remotely and received the following message.

Warning: License usage for a product licensed in per server mode is nearing the maximum number of licenses purchased

I have 10 licenses. There are only 2 people in the office who had logon to the server at present. I can't find anywhere which tell me how many people had logon, as some users are working from home. Is there a way which I can found out. This error gave me a supecion that this issue may due to other had logon to the server previously but the lease may still in force hence the license had not been release even though they may have logout. If this is the case, how can I verify and where can I set the lease of logon for just 24 hours or end of the day ?

Many thanks
