Unfortunately I don't know the correct entry to change, but I can probably help you track it down a bit easier.
The entry you are looking for is the reg entry that tells your machine that it IS NT Wkstn/Srver. The 10 connection limit is a way for Microsoft to get you to purchase Server if you want it unlocked. Wkstn and Server are the same exact OS.
This reg entry does not exist in Win2K. Ok, actually it does exist, but they wised up to it. This reg entry is set to restore itself on bootup if it detects a change (other than a proper upgrade). I took a Win2K course a few months ago and asked my instructor about this, and he's tried it and failed.....
