Win2K Adv. Srvr licensing?
Hi guys! I just wanted to apologize in advance if I have put this message in the wrong area. I have an issue with Win2K Advanced Server. The copy was originally just a 10 licensed copy so when asked how many licenses I would like on the installation I put in 9999.

I have an issue with Win2K Advanced Server. The copy was originally just a 10 licensed copy so when asked how many licenses I would like on the installation I put in 9999. The install completed successfully with Active Directory but when more than 10 people try to use the network shares the 11th person goin on craps out with a message telling him that access is denied due to licenses being exceeded or to something of that effect. No matter how many more licenses I add on, the same result occurs. With old NT 4 you were able to add on licenses without a problem. What do or how do I go about attaining more licenses without reinstalling? If I have to call and purchase somewhere to attain the licenses, I wouldn't mind the phone # as well.
I am about to launch my Dell PE 2300 through the wall!!!
I am greatly indebted to anyone that can give a remedy.
Thanx again.

I always use per seat since we have multiple servers, but you can call places like CDW (www.cdw.com) or check pricewatch (www.pricewatch.com) for licensing online. However, I would try to reduce the number of licenses to 100 or something to that effect and see what happens.
