SBS 2003 License service is denying connections

I have a SBS 2003 server that has the intial 5 user license. We are running
exchange. I have 5 workstations in the office.

When all five machines are on and using a share, the 5th one is being denied
connection to the server. If I disable the licensing service, the 5th person
can get on without any issues. I have searched online and have found a few
things, but they don't apply to SBS 2003 running exchange. I shouldn't have
to purchase additional licenses to be able to use my 5th machine.

The license service restarts itself after 30 minutes, so disabling that is
not a long term solution. How do I get this to count correctly and not have
to buy another 5 licenses?

Thanks
Jeff

Hello Jeff,

Better post to microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs for this. SBS is allways
it's own beast and a lot of things are different.
