Licensing Administration

[Glen]

Here is the problem I am facing. Is there an easy fix?...


I have a mix of Windows 2003 and 2000 TS's at several different divisions.
I have my license server set up as Enterprise license servers so that each
site only gets licenses from within their own site. As new computers or
terminals are added, I am not always notified that more licenses are needed
until it is too late and all licenses are used up.

Is there a way to configure some sort of warning that I am approaching my
licensing limit? Is there a way for the system to let me know that 75% of
licenses are in use?

How do I keep track of how many licenses are in use other than manually
connecting and looking at it? That works, but is tedious. There must be a
better way.

Thanks.

Check if this helps:

How can I monitor my TS license database and get a warning when I'm
running out of available licenses?
