Default License Warning...HELP!


We have a Windows2000 Server machine on our SBS2000
Network that is sitting on the network as a workstation.
The machine has around 5 shared drives (partitioned
volumes called E, G, H) that users access occassionally.

The machine was recently re-installed a few days ago as a
per seat licence of 5 CALs for Windows2000 Server. I have
not run DCPromo or any other program as it sits on an SBS
2000 Network.

The user keeps getting pop-up messages:

==============================================

Licence Warning
------- -------
Warning: Licence usage for a product licensed in per
server mode is nearing the maximum number of licenses
purchased. Consult the Application event log or Licence
Manager from the Administrative Tools folder for more
information.

==============================================

Previously I did something to disable this feature...but
this was about 2 years ago.

How do we get rid of this message please?

Stop and disable the Licence Service on the server and keep track of your
licences manually.

Replied in another group - if you need to post to multiple groups, it's best
to do so all at once in a single message (separate the NG names with commas)
so that everyone can follow the thread. Thanks :-)
