NetWare 5.1 licensing

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 13 Jan 2004

Q:
I am redoing two servers for the same company - one running NetWare 5.1 and the other NetWare 5.1 sbe. I reversed the license disks. The installs *look* ok, but am I in for some trouble later? They are independent machines / independent trees. The sbe server does not use any of the other packaged software.

Is this really going to work or should I just reinstall the licenses on the right server?

A:
Definitely reverse them so that NSBS 5.1 licenses are assigned to the NSBS 5.1 server and NetWare 5.1 licenses are assigned to the NetWare 5.1 server. Otherwise licensing can be unpredictable. NSBS 5.1 and NetWare 5.1 have different code for SERVER.EXE
