To tell the truth, I don't know why the licensing must be
on the domain controller. However, I do that if you are
in a domain environment, then it must be on a domain
controller, and if it isn't, the license service will
fail. If you are in a workgroup environment, however, you
can put the license service on a member server, just make
sure it is Windows 2000.
