Add Licenses

Registers the purchase of additional Client Access Licenses on a server running in Per Server mode.

If the server uses Per Seat mode, you must use License Manager in the Administrative Tools program group to add or remove licenses.


Remove Licenses

Removes Client Access Licenses from this server. This will allow you to assign those licenses to another server.


Product

Specifies the product for which you want to specify a licensing mode.


Per Server

Specifies the Per Server licensing mode.

With Per Server licensing, each Client Access License is assigned to a particular server and allows one connection to that server for basic network services (file, print, and communications). You must have at least as many Client Access Licenses dedicated to that server as the maximum number of client computers that will connect to that server at any time. If you select Per Server, you must specify the number of Client Access Licenses for concurrent connections that you have purchased for that server. Per Server is often more economical for networks in which clients tend to connect to only one occasional-use or special-purpose server.

If you are unsure which licensing mode to choose, click Per Server. The license agreement allows you a one-time, one-way option to change from Per Server licensing mode to Per Seat licensing mode.

For more information about the Per Server licensing mode, see the Microsoft license agreement in your product package or in this online Help file.


Per Seat

Specifies the Per Seat licensing mode.

The Per Seat licensing mode requires a Client Access License for each computer that will access Windows NT Server for basic network services (file, print, and communications). Once a computer is licensed, it may access any computer running Windows NT Server on the network at no additional charge. Per Seat is often more economical for networks in which clients tend to connect to more than one server.

If you are unsure which licensing mode to choose, click Per Server. The license agreement allows you a one-time, one-way option to change from Per Server licensing mode to Per Seat licensing mode.

For more information about the Per Seat licensing mode, see the Microsoft license agreement in your product package or in this online Help file.


Concurrent Connections

Specifies the number of clients that can connect to that server at any time to use basic network services (file, print, and communications). It is a violation of the license agreement to enter a number that exceeds the actual number of Client Access Licenses purchased for this server.

If the server does not require basic network services (file, print, and communications), you can set the number of concurrent connections to zero.

Note

In this case, a connection is to a server, not just to an individual share or printer on that server. For licensing purposes, a client connected to both the \\Product\new and \\Product\old shares counts as only one connection.


Replication

Opens the Replication Configuration dialog box, which you can use to set how this computer replicates licensing information to a master server or an enterprise server.


Choose Licensing Mode

Use this dialog box to specify the appropriate licensing mode (Per Server or Per Seat) for each server product installed on your computer.

If you are unsure which licensing mode to choose, click Per Server. The license agreement allows you a one-time, one-way option to change to Per Seat licensing mode later.

Replication Configuration

Use this dialog box to configure licensing replication for this computer.

The master server is a server in an organization that has been designated as the final centralized repository of all licensing data for that organization. It can be either the primary domain controller (PDC) of that domain or a specified enterprise server, to which all the PDCs in the organization will replicate.

The replication-frequency options establish when or how frequently the licensing data will be replicated to the master server. If you click Start At, you must develop a strategy for varying the starting times on each server. If you click Start Every, the system will automatically stagger the replication of licensing data from each server.

Domain Controller

Select this if either of the following is true:

The computer is a server in a domain or is a backup domain controller, but is not the primary domain controller (PDC).

The computer is a standalone server or a PDC, and you do not want to replicate any further.


Enterprise Server

Select this (and type the name of the master server to replicate to) if either of the following is true:

The computer is a standalone server in its own domain but is still part of a larger organization or enterprise.

The computer is the primary domain controller for its domain, and you want to replicate to an enterprise server.


Start At

Select this (and set the time at which to replicate each day) if you want to manually specify a daily time at which licensing information is replicated to a master server.


Start Every

Select this (and set the frequency) if you want to specify the frequency for licensing replication but not the actual start time. The Windows NT Server system will automatically stagger the start times if multiple servers are set to this option. The default is every 24 hours, and the range is 1 to 72 hours.


Overview of the Microsoft Licensing Model

Microsoft server licensing lets you buy exactly what you need to build the networks your business requires. The result is a cost-effective set of network-based business solutions that leave you plenty of room to grow.

Network solutions generally have two components:

Servers that contain information and provide services.

Clients that access the information and services.

The Microsoft licensing program is flexible, cost-effective, and, for certain server products, has two optional licensing modes: Per Server and Per Seat. The following list provides a general description of the program.

The Microsoft licensing model separates Client Access Licenses from the Server License. This means you buy only the number of Client Access Licenses you need.

If you click Per Seat, you purchase one Client Access License for each computer that will access a server product. If you need to add an additional server for your licensed clients, you buy only the server, not more Client Access Licenses.

If you click Per Server, the quantity of Client Access Licenses you purchase is applied to a particular computer running Windows NT Server. This sets the number of clients that can access that server. There is no restriction on who may access the server, only on the number of clients that have simultaneous access to it.

You are legally permitted to convert from Per Server mode to Per Seat mode once at no additional cost. This is a one-time, one-way conversion option. It is not necessary for you to notify Microsoft if you elect to make this change. However, you are not legally permitted to change the licensing mode from Per Seat to Per Server.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Client Access Licenses

Why do I need Client Access Licenses?

A Microsoft Client Access License is a legal document that provides the right for an individual computer to access a particular Microsoft server product. Client Access Licenses are required for compliance with the terms of Microsoft server-products licensing agreements. To legally use Microsoft server products, customers must purchase Client Access Licenses for computers.

When are Client Access Licenses needed?

A Client Access License for Microsoft Windows NT Server is required for programs that use the basic networking services of a server running Windows NT Server. This is true regardless of whether you are using Microsoft or third-party programs. (For example, you need a Client Access License if you intend to use File and Print Services for NetWare.) Therefore, you need a Client Access License for each computer that will access the following basic network services:

File services, for disk storage and for sharing and managing files.

Printing services, for sharing and managing printers.

Remote access services, for accessing the server from a remote location through a communications link.

Do I need Client Access Licenses if I have Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows NT Workstation?

Yes. Client Access Licenses are separate from the desktop operating system software you use to connect to Microsoft server products. Purchasing Microsoft Windows 95, Windows NT Workstation, or any other desktop operating system (such as Macintosh) that connects to Microsoft server products does not constitute a legal license to connect to those Microsoft server products. You must purchase Client Access Licenses in addition to the desktop operating system.

When should I use the Per Server vs. the Per Seat licensing mode?

The following examples are designed to help clarify the situations under which you would use each of the two licensing modes for Client Access Licenses.

Example One

A company uses Windows NT Server for file and print services. The company has three servers and 100 employees. All the employees log on to a ''home'' server and, normally, access one additional server during the day.

If the Per Seat licensing mode is selected, the company would purchase 100 Client Access Licenses, and the employees could access all the servers. If the Per Server licensing mode is selected, the company would have to determine the maximum number of concurrent connections to any one server to guarantee access for all users. Depending on the demand, this might require them to purchase more than 100 Client Access Licenses.

For example, if 33 employees use one of the servers as their home server but, on average, 20 employees normally connect to an additional server, then the maximum number of concurrent connections for each server might be 53. That would require the purchase of 159 Client Access Licenses or 53 for each of the three computers. In general, Per Seat is a more economical choice when the use of a server is pervasive or when guaranteed access is needed to services such as file and print, or to business-critical applications.

Example Two

A company is planning to use Windows NT Server for remote access services. The company has 200 employees but anticipates that only 50 employees will dial in at any one time.

In this case, the company should license Windows NT Server in Per Server mode and purchase 50 Client Access Licenses for that server. Per Server is the a more economical choice for occasional-use servers, such as when a great number of clients will access a server only on an occasional basis, or for special-use servers, such as bulletin-board servers, Internet servers, or servers running Remote Access Service.

Example Three

In contrast with example two, when the number of Client Access Licenses in Per Server mode approaches or is greater than the total number of clients in an organization, then switching to Per Seat mode becomes more cost effective.

For example, suppose a company has a total of 200 workstations. If it has four computers running Windows NT Server, each with 50 Client Access Licenses, it would need a total of 200 Client Access Licenses in Per Server mode. The company should switch the servers to Per Seat mode to reduce administrative-overhead costs and to guarantee access on all the servers to services, such as file and print, or to business-critical applications.

What if I am still unsure which licensing mode to use?

Select Per Server. The license agreement allows you a one-time, one-way option to change from Per Server licensing mode to Per Seat licensing mode.

MICROSOFT LICENSE AGREEMENT

CLIENT ACCESS LICENSE FOR MICROSOFT SERVER PRODUCTS

IMPORTANT -- READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ACCESSING MICROSOFT SERVER SOFTWARE: By accessing or otherwise utilizing the services of the Microsoft server software listed above (''Server Software''), you agree to be bound by the terms of this license agreement (''Client Access License''). If you do not agree to the terms of this Client Access License, promptly return this package to the place from which you obtained it for a full refund.

MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE

1. GRANT OF LICENSE.

(a) Overview of the Use of the Client Access License. This Client Access License describes your rights to access or otherwise utilize the services of the Server Software. A single computer running the Server Software shall be referred to as the ''Server.'' The services of the Server are considered to be accessed or utilized when there is a direct or indirect connection between a computer or workstation and a Server. This Client Access License must be dedicated to one unique computer or workstation. It permits that computer or workstation to access or otherwise utilize the services of any Server. This is known as using the Server Software in ''Per Seat Mode.'' However, you may elect to use the Server Software for Microsoft SQL Server, Windows NT Server, Microsoft Exchange Server, or SNA Server (but not Microsoft BackOffice or Systems Management Server) in ''Per Server Mode'' as defined below. If you choose Per Seat Mode, your choice is permanent. If you initially choose Per Server Mode, you have the right to change one time only to Per Seat Mode, as long as you acquire a Client Access License for each unique workstation or computer accessing or otherwise utilizing the services of the Server.

(b) Alternate Terms if you elect to use the Client Access Licenses for Microsoft SQL Server, Windows NT Server, Microsoft Exchange Server, or SNA Server in the Per Server Mode. In Per Server Mode, you must acquire the number of Client Access Licenses equal to the maximum number of computers or workstations that will access or otherwise utilize the services of that Server at any given point in time. If you elect to change from Per Server Mode to Per Seat Mode, you may transfer any Client Access Licenses you acquired for use in Per Server Mode to an equal number of workstations or computers for use in Per Seat Mode.

(c) Note Regarding the use of the Client Access License for Microsoft BackOffice. The Client Access License for Microsoft BackOffice may only be used in the Per Seat Mode. Each Client Access License in the Per Seat Mode entitles you to access or utilize the services of any computer running any Microsoft BackOffice Server Software, whether licensed as part of the BackOffice product suite or acquired separately.

2. DESCRIPTION OF OTHER RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS.

You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Server Software or any Microsoft Client Software used to access or otherwise utilize the services of the Server, except and only to the extent such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation.

Version Limitation -- The Server Software contains a certain version number (such as version “3.5”). This Client Access License permits you to access or otherwise utilize the services of: (a) any Server Software with the same digits to the left and immediately to the right of the version number’s decimal point as the digits in the Server Software version number listed aobve, or (b) any Server Software with a lower version number than the version number of the Server Software listed above (e.g., if the version number listed above is “3.5”, you may access or utilize Server Software that contains a “3.51” or “2.0” version number, but not a “3.6” version number).

NFR -- If this Client Access License is labeled ''Not For Resale'' or ''NFR,'' your license only permits use for demonstration, test, or evaluation purposes.

Additional Computers or Workstations -- If this Client Access License is a multiple Client Access License, each license purchased (up to the maximum set forth above) permits one additional computer or workstation licensed in the Per Seat Mode, or one additional computer or workstation licensed in the Per Server Mode, the right to access or otherwise utilize the services of that Server in the manner described in this Client Access License.

No ''Multiplexing'' or ''Pooling'' -- Use of software or hardware that reduces the number of users directly accessing or utilizing the Server Software (sometimes called ''multiplexing'' or ''pooling'' software or hardware) does not reduce the number of Client Access Licenses required -- the required number of Client Access Licenses would equal the number of distinct inputs to the multiplexing or pooling software or hardware ''front end.''

No Rental; Other Transfers -- You may not rent or lease the Client Access License. You may transfer the Client Access License used in the Per Seat Mode to another computer or workstation only on a permanent basis (that is, with no intent to transfer again) provided the computer or workstation from which you have transferred the Client Access License no longer accesses or otherwise utilizes the services of the Server, and the Server Software is used in accordance with the terms of this Client Access License.

Termination -- Without prejudice to any other rights, Microsoft may terminate this License if you fail to comply with the terms and conditions of this Client Access License. In such event, you must destroy all copies of the Server Software and Microsoft Client Software.

3. UPGRADE. If this Client Access License is an ''Upgrade,'' you must have a valid license for the qualifying product that is being upgraded for this Client Access License to be valid, and this Client Access License must be used to replace such qualifying product. The total number of Client Access License ''Upgrades'' you may acquire may not exceed the total number of computers, workstations, or users that were licensed to access or otherwise utilize the services of the Server at the time you upgraded the Server Software to the version listed above. If you are upgrading from SNA Server version 2.0, you are deemed to have Client Access Licenses for as many computers or workstations for which you were previously licensed. If you are upgrading from Windows NT version 3.1, you are deemed to have twenty (20) users that qualify for upgrade Client Access Licenses and if you are upgrading from Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1, you are deemed to have two hundred fifty (250) users that qualify for upgrade Client Access Licenses. NOTE: Upgrading from Windows NT Server 3.5 to Windows NT Server 3.51 is not considered an ''Upgrade'' for purposes of this Section.

4. COPYRIGHT. All title and copyrights in and to the Server Software and the accompanying Microsoft client software (“Client Software”) (including but not limited to any images, photographs, animations, video, audio, music, text, and “applets,” incorporated into the SOFTWARE PRODUCT), the accompanying printed materials, and any copies of the Server Software and the Client Software, are owned by Microsoft or its suppliers.

SERVER LICENSE FOR MICROSOFT SERVER PRODUCTS

IMPORTANT -- READ CAREFULLY: By opening the sealed packet(s) OR exercising your rights to make and use copies of the SOFTWARE (as may be provided for below), you agree to be bound by the terms of this Microsoft License Agreement. If you do not agree to the terms of this Agreement, promptly return this package to the place from which you obtained it for a full refund. For the limited warranty pertaining to your jurisdiction, please refer to the warranty booklet, if any, included with this package.

MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE

The SOFTWARE PRODUCT is protected by copyright laws and international copyright treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties. The SOFTWARE PRODUCT is licensed, not sold.

1. GRANT OF LICENSE. This Microsoft product contains some or all of the following types of software: “Server Software” that provides services on a computer called a server, “Connector Software” that enables a computer running Microsoft Exchange Server to communicate with other Servers running Microsoft Exchange Server or other electronic mail server software, and “Client Software” that allows a computer or workstation to access or utilize the services provided by the Server Software. Microsoft grants to you the following rights to the Server Software, the Connector Software (if provided), and the Client Software (collectively called the “SOFTWARE PRODUCT”):

(a) Installation. The CD-ROM or floppy disk(s) on which the Server Software and the Connector Software reside may contain several copies of the Server Software and the Connector Software, each of which is compatible with a different microprocessor architecture (such as the x86 architecture or various RISC architectures). You may install the Server Software and the Connector Software for use with only one of those architectures at any given time. Server Software. You may install one copy of the Server Software on a single computer (the computer running the Server Software shall be referred to as the “Server”). Connector Software. You may install one copy of the Connector Software on one Server running Microsoft Exchange Server. If you choose to install Connector Software on a Microsoft Exchange Server, you must also acquire a separate license or licenses to install and/or use the Connector Software on every other Microsoft Exchange Server in the same “Microsoft Exchange Organization.” A “Microsoft Exchange Organization” is the group of all Microsoft Exchange Servers with the same organization name specified during the Microsoft Exchange Server installation process for the express purpose of connecting the servers. Client Software. You may install the Client Software on any computer or workstation.

 (b) Use of the Server Software. You may use one copy of the Server Software on one Server, which may be connected at any point in time to an unlimited number of workstations or computers operating on one or more networks. You must acquire a separate Client Access License to access or otherwise utilize the services of the Server, whether you use the Client Software, third-party software, or an application you develop to do so, unless otherwise noted in Section 2 of this Agreement. Each Client Access License must be dedicated to one unique computer or workstation. It permits that computer or workstation to access or utilize the services of any Server. This is known as using the Server Software in ''Per Seat Mode.'' However, you may elect to use the Server Software for Microsoft SQL Server, Windows NT Server, Microsoft Exchange Server, or SNA Server (but not Microsoft BackOffice or Systems Management Server) in ''Per Server Mode'' as defined below. If you choose Per Seat Mode, your choice is permanent. If you initially choose Per Server Mode, you have the right to change one time only to Per Seat Mode, as long as you acquire a Client Access License for each unique workstation or computer accessing or utilizing the services of a Server.

(c) Alternate Terms if You Elect to Use the Server Software for Microsoft SQL Server, Windows NT Server, Microsoft Exchange Server, or SNA Server in Per Server Mode. In Per Server Mode, the maximum number of computers or workstations that may access or otherwise utilize the services of the Server at a given point in time is equal to the number of Client Access Licenses that you have acquired and designated for use exclusively with that Server. You may access any Server running in the Per Server Mode by using any Microsoft or third-party client software, including computers or workstations licensed in Per Seat Mode, provided the additional access is within that Server’s maximum licensed capacity of simultaneously connected computers or workstations. If you elect to change from Per Server Mode to Per Seat Mode, you may transfer any Client Access Licenses you acquired for use in Per Server Mode to an equal number of workstations or computers in Per Seat Mode.

(d) Use of the Connector Software. You may use the Connector Software on oen Microsoft Exchange Server.

(e) Use of the Client Software. You may use the Client Software to configure and administer the Server. If you use the Client Software to access or otherwise utilize the services of the Server or for any other purpose, you must acquire a separate Client Access License unless otherwise noted in Section 2 of this Agreement.

(e) Other. Transfer -- You may transfer the Server Software to another computer, provided that it is removed from the computer from which it is transferred. Notice to Users -- You shall inform all users of the SOFTWARE of the terms and conditions of the EULA. Not For Resale Software -- If this SOFTWARE is labeled ''Not For Resale'' or ''NFR,'' your license only permits use for demonstration, test, or evaluation purposes. Academic Edition Software -- If this SOFTWARE is labeled ''Academic Edition” or ''AE,'' your license only permits use in qualified educational settings. License Pak -- If this package is a License Pak, you may install and use additional copies of the Server Software up to the number of copies specified above as ''Licensed Copies.''  No ''Multiplexing'' or ''Pooling'' -- Use of software or hardware that reduces the number of users directly accessing or utilizing the Server Software (sometimes called ''multiplexing'' or ''pooling'' software or hardware) does not reduce the number of Client Access Licenses required -- the required number of Client Access Licenses would equal the number of distinct inputs to the multiplexing or pooling software or hardware ''front end.''

(f) Note regarding the use of Microsoft BackOffice. The Server Software components that make up Microsoft BackOffice may only be installed together for use on one Server and may not be separated.

2. DESCRIPTION OF OTHER RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS.
