We are using the Windows Server 2008 in our office. We have 13 computers networked together but only 10 can connect to the server? We are just using the computer it as a file server. What am I doing wrong? What do I have to do to have more than just the 10 people connected to it? Thanks for any help!

Make sure you have enough CALS. Each device that connects needs a CAL. If all licenses are given out then the rest of the boxes will have to wait to connect.

I don't remember how many CALS we have. How can I check? I am not real good with the Server software yet, it is my first time using it. Thanks!

Open term services manager and it will tell how many cals are installed. You can also add cals you purchased with the managelrs.

Ok, I think maybe I didn't get everything installed that we need. I'm not sure. It's not showing me any CALS. There are so many things in the Server software that I am unsure about. What do I need for about 15 computers to be able to link to the server for File Sharing?
