license server applet

[Guest]

Periodically I go the licensing applet in the administrative tools section of the control panel and do a cursory check of how we are doing on our licensing. Can someone tell me how the information in that applet is populated? We have purchased enough licenses to satisfy the needs of our network, but the information indicates that we have used 1 more than we purchased. I read that there was a simular issue addressed in service pack 4 (We're using a Win 2000 server) and I installed that a couple of weeks ago, but the information that the applet gives me doesn't "jive" with reality
Perhaps there's a way to reset the data in the applet? If anyone know the answer any help would be appreciated

My usual advice is to stop and disable the license logging service on all
servers. It's buggy and isn't mandatory - keep track of your licenses
manually. Outlook is a known culprit for not releasing license usage when
closed....perhaps that's the source of your problem.
