Turn off license logging sbs 2003

All rights reserved. Covered by US Patent. Come for the solution, stay for everything else. Welcome to our community! I just installed an SBS server in a multi-server environment.

The SBS server is solely being used for exchange. I need to keep the license logging service stopped, but whenever it is stopped, something restarts it around 90 minutes later. I've added a scheduled task that stops the service a couple minutes after each time it starts, and though this has solved the problem from a user perspective, I'd really like to just stop the service permanently. Is there a way to permanently stop the license logging service in SBS ?

I just bought 5 new Windows CAL licenses from ingram but I can't seam to know how to apply them. I'm use to Open Licenses, but this new one is new to me and I have no idea how to apply it. Also for those Audits, dont lose those Proof of Purchases or Receipts and the like. Easier to prove you have them when you have them. The reason there isn't any CAL tracking on Windows Server is because a single user or device can open many connections.

It's nearly impossible for the system to determine which of these similar-looking connections are on the same seat or should count against different license seats. That's exactly what I'm doing, Terminal server. I have a Windows there people remote to and work from there.

I'm familiar with vlcs licenses, but ingram sold me something different now. Assuming it is RD CAL's you have and not just standard Windows Server CAL's, then you can install them via the Remote Desktop Licensing Manager application, which is installed when you install the RD services on your RD server assuming you're using a single server install, if not, then on the server where the licensing manager role is installed.

These users have multiple devices, so the company purchases 25 user CALs to go along with the existing 10 device CALs. Even though you can purchase a mix of device and user CALs, is there a catch to using them?

So, how does the Licensing Service keep track of user connections versus device connections? The simple fact is that it doesn't. While it does track CALs purchased and allocated, it doesn't prevent connections when the total number of accesses is reached. Your users won't be shut down no matter how many or how few CALs you add.

User and Device CALs are simply a legal requirement, not a technical one. No CALs required There is one situation in which CALs are not required to access the server or a server application: when users make their connections anonymously from the Internet. For example, you don't need CALs to allow customers to anonymously access your Web site.

All that is required is a single Windows Server license. If you provide authenticated access to customers or partners, however, you do need to take licensing into account. An External Connector License allows an unlimited number of external users to access the server or server application for which the license applies.

Instead, the EC is designed for customers and partners who need to access your server or application. For example, if you provide authenticated access for your customers to obtain inventory or pricing information about your products, you need an EC to legally provide that data.

If you have only a few customers or partners who access your servers, an EC will likely seem fairly expensive. In these situations, you can still purchase and use CALs to allow these users to gain access, rather than purchase the EC. When you are evaluating the necessity for an EC, consider the cost for the appropriate number of CALs against the cost of the EC, then factor in future growth.

Keep in mind that the EC allows an unlimited number of connections, so purchasing an EC now might still be more cost effective if the number of users is relatively low now but will grow in the near future. Managing licenses Windows Server provides two tools to help you manage licensing.
