NSBS 6 Licensing

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 18 Oct 2001

Q:
What is the policy with NSBS 6 Licensing and Trees?

A:
NSBS licensing is based on concurrent connections, and 50 is still the max. But this means you can have 100 users in the directory as long as only 50 connect at a time. NW6 is changing licensing to users in the edirectory, 100 user objects requires 100 licenses...so that is a big difference if you upgrade from SBS to NW and you have over 50 users. BTW, NW 6 no longercounts printers in the license count either.

Other goodie...no more limitation to one partition. The only difference other than licensing between NW6 and SBS6 is that SBS6 does not include the 2-license cluster services.
