SYMPTOMS

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.0. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.0.

MORE INFORMATION

The User Count is incremented only when a license is granted successfully. However, the User Count will be decremented regardless of when the session is freed.

The problem occurs when you attempt to connect clients beyond the number of allocated licenses. Each client beyond the number of licenses will cause the counter to incorrectly decrement by 1.
