We have seven servers on our domain, 6 are domain controllers. We are about
to switch our licensing from per server to per user mode. Right now the
numbers reflected in the license manager do not make sense and I've been told
by others the license manager is unreliable anyway and should be ignored.

Has anyone made this switch and had a bad experience? I was going to pick
one server that would have the least impact on the network if something went
wrong yet still provide a good test.


Any feedback on unexpected/bad results happening with the switch from per
server to per user is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hello Lynnex1138,

The only you have to remmeber is that it is a oneway change, you can not
switch back. But normally it should work without problem.
