Attempt to Log on During an Unauthorized Time Period

• Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51, and 4.0

SYMPTOMS

If you have client workstations that use the Novell 16bit Netx network client software to connect to a Windows NT 3.51 or 4.0 server with File and Print Services for NetWare, you may encounter the following error on the client when attempting to log on to the server:

   SERVER/USERNAME: Attempt to log on during an unauthorized time period.
   The Supervisor has limited the time that you can log on to this server.
   You are attached to server SERVERNAME.

CAUSE

The licensing service is configured for "Per Server," and does not have enough licenses to handle the additional connections of the Novell clients.

RESOLUTION

In Control Panel, double-click the Licensing icon. Increase the amount of concurrent connections to the proper level that are configured for the "Per Server" licensing option. The licensing service can be configured for "Per Seat," as long as the correct amount of client licensees have been obtained.
