SBS 4.5 NFR/Evaluation Version Displays Wrong Number of Licenses

• Microsoft BackOffice Small Business Server version 4.5

SYMPTOMS

Small Business Server (SBS) 4.5 Not For Resale (NFR)/Evaluation version includes six Client Access Licenses (CAL), however, the licensing page displays only one CAL.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in BackOffice Small Business Server 4.5 NFR/Evaluation.

MORE INFORMATION

Although the license page reports only one CAL, you can still connect up to six clients to the computer running SBS. You can only connect five users running Microsoft Outlook to the server because Exchange Server uses one CAL when it is running.

This problem only occurs on the SBS 4.5 NFR/Evaluation version. In the full retail or upgrade SBS program, the license page reports the correct number of CALs and you can connect the correct number of computers running Outlook.
