I have been told by MS Experts that the limitation only applies to connections accessing the machine. Such as I print through an NT workstation used as a print server then I am only allowed 10 of these connections. File and Print Sharing and VPN's fall into this category. Mail servers that give it's users no access to the machine itself would not fall under this category. POP3 and SMTP gives the user no local access. Web also gives users no local access to the machine. MS is trying to change this with SQL 2000 because it has an option to license per web connection. They also may change it with future OS licensing also. Hence why people loathe buying Exchange Server (every user needs a os license and an Exchange license) MS has in the past said that users accessing Exchange via POP 3 do not need OS licenses ----- Original Message ----- From: "Len Conrad" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2001 9:45 AM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] IMail on a Workstation instead of a Server > Remember the "scandale" when in early 97, someone figured out there > were 16 bytes diff between NT Srvr and NT Wkstn?
