Re: Server licensing problem

Hi

Thanks everyone for your input. I something everytime I post to the group.
Wow so many ways but I need to look up RWW, this is beside the point of this
posting.

Well, the short answer to most of your questions is I don't know. Your
interpretation of the scenario is correct.

OK, try to answer your questions
1. No, I don't see the warning when I tried to login. I rdp into their
server (my client as an organisation) and have no problem but my user/client
telephone to say some field staff experiencing such error.
2. as I said, I don't actually know, as far as I am aware, they have less
then 10 but you don't know whether they are telling you the truth. So the
wondering query of way to check how many or who had logon to domain/server.
3. the license said 10 and maximum login 15 (doesn't addup. I would have
thought if it is 10 licenses, the max login will be 10)
4. not able to do that as my client (the human body) not allow.

To update the situation, restarted the server and resolved the remote
login - vpn problem.
Yesterday, I have check on the server -System log in the event viewer that
the three user all have the same error - network protocol problem but the
suggeseted solution doesn't seems to make sense. If the protocol is not on
the client, how did they normally logon and why the restart of server
resolved the 'no protocol' issue. Also another warning event which said no
ip address (for all 3 users).

Found a service Licensing Logging, would I disable this service ?

Although the case is solved temperarily, would like to hear your view on
what would be done, I don't think my client would like to hear to restart
the server again when this happened.

Hi Similey,

Thanks for posting in our newsgroup.

From your description, I know that some users can't logon remotely and
received the following error message:

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

If that's not right, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Based on my experience, the problem is mostly caused by there is no enough
for users number of your domain. The client can access domain via RDP,
RWW,OWA,VPN, Rpc over http for Outlook, Mobile and so on. It's difficult
to
count how many users access the domain at the same time.

Please help me collect the following information for further research:

1. Did you see the warning when trying to login?

2. How many users do you have?

2. Open Server Management, click License mode and give me the screen shot.

3. MPS Report on problematic client

1) Download MPS report tool from:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b/1/bb139fcb-4aac-4fe5-a579-30b0bd9
15706/MPSRPT_SETUPPerf.EXE
2) Run the MPSRPT_SETUPPerf.exe on the server box.
3) Wait for 10~15 minutes.
4) Open Windows explorer, navigate to
%SYSTEMROOT%\MPSReports\Setup\Reports\cab\
5) Send the .cab file to v-robeli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with subject:
40706036-Server licensing problem.

I am looking forward to hear from you.

If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Best regards,

Robert Li(MSFT)

<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
