ID: Q235747

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Systems Management Server version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

In Systems Management Server Resource Guide, Chapter 22: Software Metering Flowcharts, page 593, in the last paragraph, it incorrectly states:

"Software license limits will not be enforced until the initial trend has been calculated, unless the DO NOT ENFORCE LICENSE LIMITS FOR THIS PRODUCT UNTIL A TREND HAS BEEN CALCULATED checkbox in the Software Metering Properties dialog box in the SMS Administrator console is cleared."

There is no check box in the Software Metering Properties dialog box labeled "DO NOT ENFORCE LICENSE LIMITS FOR THIS PRODUCT UNTIL A TREND HAS BEEN CALCULATED". The check box exists in the Software Metering console under Metered Software, Licensed Software properties (specific for each product)and the License Balancing tab.
