NetWare 6 uses a user access model which uses server licenses and user licenses. These licenses are separate files that should be installed in differenct containers. The server license should be installed in the same container as the server and assigned to a server. The user license should be installed at or above the container containing the User objects.
During the installation of a NetWare 6 server, you install a server license. Each server in the tree should have a unique server license. If you need addtional server licenses, you can download them from http://www1.novell.com/eld/LRequest.jsp?ENCRYPTION=NW6 .
The server license determines the type of a user licenses to be consumed. For example, if you installed a NetWare 6 Demo server license, NLS will look for NetWare 6 Demo user licenses to be consumed. If a NetWare 6 Demo user license is not found, users will not be allowed access.
This is important to understand when changing licenses. For example, if you install NetWare 6 Demo licenses (both server and user) and later change to a volume licensing agreement like MLA, you need to install the server and user licenses for the MLA and then delete the demo license for both the server and user.
For more information, see Managing License Certificates, Modifying or Deleting Server Assignments, and Viewing Information about License Certificates and Containers.
User licenses are not assigned to servers. They are installed in the eDirectory tree in the same container as or above the User objects that will consume the licenses. You must have enough user licenses for each user that will authenticate to eDirectory. For more inforamation about the User Access model, see the User Access Licensing for NetWare manual.
