Alot of the company's I work for have per seat licensing (Which I didn't install). Error messages are always occuring on the event viewer, does anyone have any idea why and how to fix it. The event id is 202 and the message reads as follows "The product Windows NT Server is out of licenses. Use License Manager from the Administrative Tools folder for more information on which users are out of compliance and how many licenses should be purchased. " I've check Microsoft but knowledge case doesn't seem the have that event id. Cheers to anyone that can help.

At least for me, the error message is quite clear. The number of seats (licenses) has been exceeded on the server. There are more users connected than licences. You fix it by buying more licenses and adding them via License Manager.

Use the License Manager in the Control panel to up your number.

We have plenty of licenses, it's just when people log out the server is not revoking the license so some other user can log in. Per machine license gives each computer on the network a license as long as the computer is plugged into the network, but per seat licensing gives each user a license as they log in, then it should revoke the license as they logout. I am very familiar with the way NT works, but previous to this company Im working for now I have never come across per seat licensing.

I get that same error message. We also have more than enough licenses (Purchased 250, have about 185 users). We did however switch out our PDC and went from having 5 different domains to one master domain. The problem is that all of the old user accounts are still showing up in the list. Even after revoking them they keep popping back up. The domain has been changed over for almost a year now but the user accounts are still haunting us. Has anyone out there had this problem? Please help if you can.

Have exactly the same problem. Plenty of Licenses. Can't understand why the message occurs. Any ideas?

Hopefully, I think I have found the root of the problem here. Especially for BRIAN. We actually have 6 NT4 servers here. We used to have to separate domains, but then changed to just one domain with a new PDC and using the old PDC as the new BDC. Still with me? Good. All the old user logins are stored, I believe, in the C:\winnt\system32\lls\ directories of all the servers. You need to stop the license logging service on all servers, then delete the LlsUser.Lls files from all the servers, then start up the services again. Your PDC will start issuing licenses again from stratch, and the old users will not appear any more! If this doesn't work for you, let me know!
