Windows 2000 licensing

[Guest]

I hope someone can help me. The problem we are having is with error messages
indicating we have exceeded our licensing. But what is happening is that
people who no longer work here are still showing up in licensing. I have
revoked and deleted the user licensing and they just reappear. Does anyone
know how to perminantly remove users. We use per seat licensing.

The license manager service is extremely buggy.
MicroSoft has had many years to fix it and has
failed to do so.

Just do what everyone else does: stop and disable the
service and use something else to keep track of your
licenses.

There's got to be a better answer than that. I don't think my boss will
accept that answer from me. If anyone else has ever encountered/resolved this
answer..HELP

Use Google Groups to do a search on this newsgroup and
you will see that *everyone* says the same thing when
someone posts a license manager problem like yours.

The license manager is broken. Period. Full Stop.
Your boss can going either accept that simple fact and
move on from there or he can bury his head in the sand
and continue to use that service and perpetually deal
with the related headaches.

Tell your boss MS has given up on the component.
This is evidenced by the fact that it is disabled by default in W2K3 Server.
