Are you a lawyer?  If not, I'll bet you are wrong.  No where in the licenses we have 
does it say that the 10 connection limit applies only to authenticated users.

Please, everyonem, let's limit the discussion to the facts.  I made it clear that 
there are several different interpretations, and that is a fact.  Someone mentioned 
what their license said; that's a fact.  Saying that only authenticated users count 
towards the license is your opinion, which may well be wrong (if you are right, other 
people with just as strong an opinion are wrong).  If your license uses the word 
"authenticated", great, let us know.  Or if you can find a Microsoft web page that 
supports your view, great.

> NT will generate events in the event log if licensing errors occur.

Do you have anything to back this up?  According to one interpretation of the license, 
open TCP/IP connections count towards the 10 connection limit (and don't say it does 
not, unless you can back it up).  In that case, it would be up to the software 
developer to generate the event for the event log, and I doubt all software developers 
would do that.
