   TITLE     : How to Reset License Manager Information
Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0 has improved routines that create and maintain the data files. It is suggested that if this continues to be a problem, either upgrade to version Windows NT 4.0 or disable the License Logging Service command on the Services menu in Control Panel until an upgrade to Windows NT 4.0 is completed.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows NT version 3.51. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
