Licensing Service in Windows 2000

[CST112]

I am having trouble with my licensing service.
I keep deleting users or revoking users that no longer exist.
(They have not worked for the organization in over 3 years.)
For some reason, they keep reappearing in the licensing service and takes up
a license.
What could the reason be for this?

Simple: the licensing service is badly broken and MicroSoft long
ago gave up trying to fix it.

Just do what most admins have done: stop and permanently disable
the service. Anything else is better for tracking your licenses:
pencil & paper, spreadsheet, database, etc.

Thank You. I never new about this.
I posted another message about a year ago and never received a response.

Maybe so, but a simple search of this newsgroup would have
revealed that this question has been asked hundreds, if not
thousands, of times with virtually the same "solution" offered
every time.

I guess my newgroup prowess isn't as good yours.

How many messages are usually stored on an ISP's newgroups, and for how
long?
I never really understood that.

I only download the outlook express defaults of 300 messages for my
occasional use of the newgroups. Recommendations?

I don't think you can search back years with the ISPs newsgroup, but you
can go to groups.google.com and find old posts.
