Choose Licensing Mode

Use this dialog box to specify the licensing mode (Per Server or Per Seat) that is appropriate for each server product installed on your computer and to configure licensing replication for that computer.

Notice that Client Access Licenses are separate from the desktop operating system software you use to connect to Microsoft server products. Purchasing Microsoft Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT Workstation, or any other desktop operating system (such as Macintosh) that connects to Microsoft server products does not constitute a legal license to connect to those Microsoft server products. In addition to the desktop operating system, Client Access Licenses must also be purchased.

If you are unsure which licensing mode to choose, select the Per Server option. The license agreement allows you a one-time, one-way option to change from a Per Server licensing mode to a Per Seat licensing mode. For more information, see the Help topic called ''Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Client Access Licenses.''

Product

Select the product for which you want to specify a licensing mode.

Licensing for the Microsoft BackOffice family of server products requires a Server License and a license for each client computer to access the server, which is called a Client Access License. These licenses are acquired separately prior to using the product. For Windows NT Server, SQL Server, and SNA Server, the Client Access License can be used in one of two licensing modes (Per Server and Per Seat).


Per Server

Select this option if you want to specify the Per Server licensing mode.

With Per Server licensing, each Client Access License is assigned to a particular server and allows one connection to that server for basic network services (file, print, and communications). You must have at least as many Client Access Licenses dedicated to that server as the maximum number of client computers that will connect to that server at any point in time. If you select the Per Server option, you must specify the number of Client Access Licenses for concurrent connections that you have purchased for that server. The Per Server option is often the most economical one for networks in which clients tend to connect to only one occasional-use or special-purpose server.

If you are unsure which licensing mode to choose, select the Per Server option. The license agreement allows you a one-time, one-way option to change from a Per Server licensing mode to a Per Seat licensing mode.

For more detailed information about the Per Server licensing mode, see the Microsoft license agreement in your product package or in this online Help file.


Per Seat

Select this option if you want to specify the Per Seat licensing mode.

The Per Seat licensing mode requires a Client Access License for each computer that will access Windows NT Server for basic network services (file, print, and communications). Once a computer is licensed, it may access any Windows NT Server computer installed on the network at no additional charge. The Per Seat option is often the most economical one for networks in which clients tend to connect to more than one server.

If you are unsure which licensing mode to choose, select the Per Server option. The license agreement allows you a one-time, one-way option to change from a Per Server licensing mode to a Per Seat licensing mode.

For more detailed information about the Per Seat licensing mode, see the Microsoft license agreement in your product package or in this online Help file.


Concurrent Connections

Type or select the number of clients that will connect to that server at any point in time to use basic network services (file, print, and communications). It is a violation of the license agreement to enter a number that exceeds the actual number of Client Access Licenses purchased for this server.

Notice that a connection, in this case, is to a server and not just to an individual share point or printers on that server. If you connect to the \\PRODUCT\NEW and \\PRODUCT\OLD share points, that is considered as only one connection for licensing purposes.

If the server does not require basic network services (file, print, and communications), you can set the number of concurrent connections to zero.

To change the number of concurrent connections, select the number, and then type a new value. Or, click the up or down arrow to increase or decrease the selected number.


Replication

Choose this button to display the Replication Configuration dialog box.

In this dialog box, you can either accept the default values shown or specify the master server, which is the server to which all licensing information for that domain will be replicated, and set how frequently licensing replication will happen.

The default value for replication frequency is 24 hours. If an administrator accepts the default replication frequency for all the servers in a domain, licensing changes made on an individual server within a domain might take up to 48 hours to be replicated to the overall database on the organization's master server for licensing. This delay should be kept in mind when studying the licensing data.


Per Seat Licensing

This dialog box applies to situations where you want each computer to have its own Client Access License and be able to access any Windows NT Server computer installed on your network at any time

When you select the Per Seat licensing mode, any number of licensed computers can be used to connect at the same time to any Windows NT Server. However, remember that you may purchase a separate Client Access License for each computer even if you use client operating-system software from Microsoft (including Microsoft Windows for Workgroups or Microsoft Windows NT Workstation), a third-party vendor, or any of the other client software supported by Windows NT Server. The Per Seat option is often the most economical one for networks in which clients tend to connect to more than one server.

Notice that a Client Access License is not included when you acquire Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT Workstation, and (when released) Windows 95. The license must be purchased separately in addition to the operating-system software.

Overview of Microsoft's Licensing Model

Microsoft server licensing lets you buy exactly what you need to build the networks your business requires. The result is a cost-effective set of network-based business solutions that leave you plenty of room to grow.

Network solutions generally have two components:

Servers that contain information and provide services

Clients that access the information and services

Network software is commonly sold in a single package that contains the server and a fixed number of Client Access Licenses. While this is convenient from a purchasing perspective, it can be very inflexible. First, you are forced to purchase a fixed number of Client Access Licenses even if you do not need them all. And, second, if you need to add another server for the same clients to use, you must purchase the Client Access Licenses again because the server is packaged with them.

Microsoft's licensing program is flexible, cost-effective, and, for certain server products, has two optional licensing modes: Per Server and Per Seat. The following list provides a general description of the program. More details are available in the Help topic, ''Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Client Access Licenses.''

Microsoft's licensing model separates the Client Access Licenses from the Server License. This means you buy only the number of Client Access Licenses you need.

If you choose the Per Seat option, you purchase one Client Access License for each computer that will access a server product. If you need to add an additional server for your licensed clients, you buy only the server, and no more Client Access Licenses.

If you choose the Per Server option, the quantity of Client Access Licenses you purchase is applied to a particular computer running Windows NT Server. That number of clients can then access that server. There is no restriction on who may access the server, only the number of clients that may access it at any one time.

You are legally permitted to convert from Per Server mode to Per Seat mode at no additional cost. This is a one-time, one-way conversion option. It is not necessary for you to notify Microsoft if you elect to make this change. You are not legally permitted to change the licensing mode from Per Seat to Per Server.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Client Access Licenses

Why do I need Client Access Licenses?

A Microsoft Client Access License is a legal document that provides the right for an individual computer to access a particular Microsoft server product. Client Access Licenses are required for compliance with the terms of Microsofts server products licensing agreements. To use Microsoft server products legally, customers must purchase Client Access Licenses for computers.

How do I purchase a Client Access License?

Client Access Licenses are available in single-client and 20-client configurations, and in volume quantities through the Microsoft Select licensing program. Contact your Microsoft reseller for more information.

When are Client Access Licenses needed?

A Client Access License for Microsoft Windows NT Server is required for programs that use the basic networking services (file, print, and communications) of Windows NT Server. This situation is true regardless of whether you are using Microsoft or third-party programs. (For example, you need a Client Access License if you intend to use File and Print Services for NetWare.) This means that you need a Client Access License for each computer that will be accessing the following basic network services:

File services for sharing and managing files and/or disk storage

Printing services for sharing and managing printers

Remote access services for accessing the server from a remote location through a communications link

Do I need Client Access Licenses if I have Microsoft Windows for Workgroups or Microsoft Windows NT Workstation?

Yes. Client Access Licenses are separate from the desktop operating system software you use to connect to Microsoft server products. Purchasing Microsoft Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT Workstation, or any other desktop operating system (such as Macintosh) that connects to Microsoft server products does not constitute a legal license to connect to those Microsoft server products. In addition to the desktop operating system, Client Access Licenses must also be purchased.

When should I use the Per Server vs. the Per Seat licensing mode?

The following examples are designed to help clarify the situations under which you would use each of the two licensing modes for Client Access Licenses.

Example One

A company uses Windows NT Server for file and print services. The company has three servers and 100 employees. All the employees log on to a ''home'' server and, normally, access one additional server during the day.

If the Per Seat licensing mode is selected, the company would purchase 100 Client Access Licenses, and the employees could access all the servers. If the Per Server licensing mode is selected, the company would have to determine the maximum number of concurrent connections to any one server to guarantee access for all users. Depending on the demand, this might require them to purchase more than 100 Client Access Licenses.

For example, if 33 employees use one of the servers as their home server but, on average, 20 employees normally connect to an additional server, then the maximum number of concurrent connections for each server might be 53. That would require the purchase of 159 Client Access Licenses or 53 for each of the three computers. In general, the Per Seat option is the most economical one to choose when the use of a server is pervasive or guaranteed access is needed to such services as file and print, or business-critical applications.

Example Two

A company is planning to use Windows NT Server for remote access services. The company has 200 employees but anticipates that only 50 employees will dial in at any one time.

In this case, the company should license Windows NT Server in the Per Server mode and purchase 50 Client Access Licenses for that server. The Per Server option is the most economical one to choose for occasional-use servers, such as when a great number of clients will only access a server on an occasional basis, or for special-use servers such as those running Remote Access Service, Internet servers, or bulletin-board servers.

Example Three

In contrast with example two, when the number of Client Access Licenses in the Per Server mode approaches or is greater than the total number of clients in an organization, then switching to the Per Seat mode becomes more cost effective.

For example, consider a company that has a total of 200 workstations and four Windows NT Server computers, each with 50 Client Access Licenses, for a total of 200 Client Access Licenses in the Per Server mode. The company would want to switch the servers to the Per Seat mode to reduce administrative overhead costs and guarantee access to such services as file and print, or business-critical applications on all the servers.

What if I am still unsure which licensing mode to use?

If you are unsure which licensing mode to choose, select the Per Server option. The license agreement allows you a one-time, one-way option to change from a Per Server licensing mode to a Per Seat licensing mode.

MICROSOFT LICENSE AGREEMENT

CLIENT ACCESS LICENSE FOR MICROSOFT SERVER PRODUCTS

IMPORTANT -- READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ACCESSING MICROSOFT SERVER SOFTWARE: By accessing or otherwise utilizing the services of the Microsoft server software listed above (''Server Software''), you agree to be bound by the terms of this license agreement (''Client Access License''). If you do not agree to the terms of this Client Access License, promptly return this package to the place from which you obtained it for a full refund. For the limited warranty pertaining to your jurisdiction, please refer to the warranty booklet, if any, included with this package.

MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE

1. GRANT OF LICENSE.

(a) Overview of the Use of the Client Access License. This Client Access License describes your rights to access or otherwise utilize the services of the Server Software. A single computer running the Server Software shall be referred to as the ''Server.'' The services of the Server are considered to be accessed or utilized when there is a direct or indirect connection between a computer or workstation and a Server. This Client Access License must be dedicated to one unique computer or workstation. It permits that computer or workstation to access or otherwise utilize the services of any Server. This is known as using the Server Software in ''Per Seat Mode.'' However, you may elect to use the Server Software for Microsoft SQL Server, Windows NT Server, or SNA Server (but not Microsoft BackOffice or Systems Management Server) in ''Per Server Mode'' as defined below. If you choose Per Seat Mode, your choice is permanent. If you initially choose Per Server Mode, you have the right to change one time only to Per Seat Mode, as long as you acquire a Client Access License for each unique workstation or computer accessing or otherwise utilizing the services of the Server.

(b) Alternate Terms if you elect to use the Client Access Licenses for Microsoft SQL Server, Windows NT Server, or SNA Server in the Per Server Mode. In Per Server Mode, you must acquire the number of Client Access Licenses equal to the maximum number of computers or workstations that will access or otherwise utilize the services of that Server at any given point in time. If you elect to change from Per Server Mode to Per Seat Mode, you may transfer any Client Access Licenses you acquired for use in Per Server Mode to an equal number of workstations or computers for use in Per Seat Mode.

(c) Note Regarding the use of the Client Access License for Microsoft BackOffice. The Client Access License for Microsoft BackOffice may only be used in the Per Seat Mode. Each Client Access License in the Per Seat Mode entitles you to access or utilize the services of any computer running any Server Software, whether licensed as part of BackOffice or acquired separately. If you acquired Microsoft Mail as a component of Microsoft BackOffice, your use of Microsoft Mail is subject to the terms and conditions of the separate end-user license agreement for that product provided with the Server Software.

2. DESCRIPTION OF OTHER RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS.

You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Server Software or any Microsoft Client Software used to access or otherwise utilize the services of the Server, except to the extent such foregoing restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law.

Version Limitation -- The Server Software contains a certain version number (such as version ''3.5''). This Client Access License permits you to access or otherwise utilize the services of any Server Software with the same (or a lower) version number to the left of the decimal point as the Server Software version number listed above (for example, if the version number listed above is ''3.1,'' you may access or utilize Server Software that contains a ''3.5'' or ''2.0'' version number, but not a ''4.0'' version number).

NFR -- If this Client Access License is labeled ''Not For Resale'' or ''NFR,'' your license only permits use for demonstration, test, or evaluation purposes.

Additional Computers or Workstations -- If this Client Access License is a multiple Client Access License, each license purchased (up to the maximum set forth above) permits one additional computer or workstation licensed in the Per Seat Mode, or one additional computer or workstation licensed in the Per Server Mode, the right to access or otherwise utilize the services of that Server in the manner described in this Client Access License.

No ''Multiplexing'' or ''Pooling'' -- Use of software or hardware that reduces the number of users directly accessing or utilizing the Server Software (sometimes called ''multiplexing'' or ''pooling'' software or hardware) does not reduce the number of Client Access Licenses required -- the required number of Client Access Licenses would equal the number of distinct inputs to the multiplexing or pooling software or hardware ''front end.''

No Rental; Other Transfers -- You may not rent or lease the Client Access License. You may transfer the Client Access License used in the Per Seat Mode to another computer or workstation only on a permanent basis (that is, with no intent to transfer again) provided the computer or workstation from which you have transferred the Client Access License no longer accesses or otherwise utilizes the services of the Server, and the Server Software is used in accordance with the terms of this Client Access License.

Termination -- Without prejudice to any other rights, Microsoft may terminate this License if you fail to comply with the terms and conditions of this Client Access License. In such event, you must destroy all copies of the Server Software and Microsoft Client Software.

3. UPGRADE. If this Client Access License is an ''Upgrade,'' you must have a valid license for the qualifying product that is being upgraded for this Client Access License to be valid, and this Client Access License must be used to replace such qualifying product. The total number of Client Access License ''Upgrades'' you may acquire may not exceed the total number of computers, workstations, or users that were licensed to access or otherwise utilize the services of the Server at the time you upgraded the Server Software to the version listed above. If you are upgrading from SNA Server version 2.0, you are deemed to have Client Access Licenses for as many computers or workstations for which you were previously licensed. If you are upgrading from Windows NT version 3.1, you are deemed to have twenty (20) users that qualify for upgrade Client Access Licenses and if you are upgrading from Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1, you are deemed to have two hundred fifty (250) users that qualify for upgrade Client Access Licenses. NOTE: Upgrading from Windows NT Server 3.5 to Windows NT Server 3.51 is not considered an ''Upgrade'' for purposes of this Section.

4. COPYRIGHT. The SOFTWARE is licensed, not sold. Title and copyrights in and to the Server Software and Microsoft Client Software (including any images, ''applets,'' photographs, animations, video, audio, music, and text incorporated into such software), accompanying printed materials, and any copies you are permitted to make herein, are owned by Microsoft or its suppliers and are protected by United States copyright laws and international treaty provisions. Therefore, you must treat the Server Software and any Microsoft Client Software like any other copyrighted material (e.g., a book or musical recording) except that you may either (a) make one copy of the Server Software and Microsoft Client Software solely for backup or archival purposes, or (b) transfer the Server Software or Microsoft Client Software to a single hard disk provided you keep the original solely for backup or archival purposes. You may not copy the printed materials accompanying the Server Software and Client Software.

If you do not agree to the terms of this Agreement, promptly return this package to the place from which you obtained it for a full refund. For the limited warranty pertaining to your jurisdiction, please refer to the warranty booklet, if any, included with this package.

MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE

1. GRANT OF LICENSE. This Microsoft product contains software that provides services on a computer called a server (''Server Software''), and software that allows a computer or workstation to access or utilize the services provided by the Server Software (''Client Software''). Microsoft grants to you the following rights to the Client Software and the Server Software (collectively called the ''SOFTWARE''):

(a) Installation. You may install one copy of the Server Software on a single computer (the computer running the Server Software shall be referred to as the ''Server''). You may install the Client Software on any computer or workstation. The CD or diskette(s) on which the Server Software resides may contain several copies of the Server Software, each of which is compatible with a different microprocessor architecture (such as the x86 architecture or various RISC architectures). You may install the Server Software for use with only one of those architectures at any given time.

(b) Use of the Client Software. You may use the Client Software to configure and administer the Server. If you use the Client Software to access or otherwise utilize the services of the Server or for any other purpose, you must acquire a separate Client Access License unless otherwise noted in Section 2 of this Agreement.

(c) Use of the Server Software. You may use one copy of the Server Software on one Server, which may be connected at any point in time to an unlimited number of workstations or computers operating on one or more networks. You must acquire a separate Client Access License to access or otherwise utilize the services of the Server, whether you use the Client Software or third-party software to do so, unless otherwise noted in Section 2 of this Agreement. Each Client Access License must be dedicated to one unique computer or workstation. It permits that computer or workstation to access or utilize the services of any Server. This is known as using the Server Software in ''Per Seat Mode.'' However, you may elect to use the Server Software for Microsoft SQL Server, Windows NT Server or SNA Server (but not Microsoft BackOffice or Systems Management Server) in ''Per Server Mode'' as defined below. If you choose Per Seat Mode, your choice is permanent. If you initially choose Per Server Mode, you have the right to change one time only to Per Seat Mode, as long as you acquire a Client Access License for each unique workstation or computer accessing or utilizing the services of a Server.

(d) Alternate Terms if you elect to use the Server Software for Microsoft SQL Server, Windows NT Server, or SNA Server in Per Server Mode. In Per Server Mode, the maximum number of computers or workstations that may access or otherwise utilize the services of the Server at a given point in time is equal to the number of Client Access Licenses that you have acquired and designated for use exclusively with that Server. You may access any Server running in the Per Server Mode by using any Microsoft or third-party client software, including computers or workstations licensed in Per Seat Mode, provided the additional access is within that Servers maximum licensed capacity of simultaneously connected computers or workstations. If you elect to change from Per Server Mode to Per Seat Mode, you may transfer any Client Access Licenses you acquired for use in Per Server Mode to an equal number of workstations or computers in Per Seat Mode.

(e) Other. Transfer -- You may transfer the Server Software to another computer, provided that it is removed from the computer from which it is transferred. Notice to Users -- You shall inform all users of the SOFTWARE of the terms and conditions of the Microsoft License Agreement. Not For Resale Software -- If this SOFTWARE is labeled ''Not For Resale'' or ''NFR,'' your license only permits use for demonstration'' test, or evaluation purposes. Academic Edition Software -- If this SOFTWARE is labeled ''Academic Edition or ''AE,'' your license only permits use in qualified educational settings. License Pak -- If this package is a License Pak, you may install and use additional copies of the Server Software up to the number of copies specified above as ''Licensed Copies.''  No ''Multiplexing'' or ''Pooling'' -- Use of software or hardware that reduces the number of users directly accessing or utilizing the Server Software (sometimes called ''multiplexing'' or ''pooling'' software or hardware) does not reduce the number of Client Access Licenses required -- the required number of Client Access Licenses would equal the number of distinct inputs to the multiplexing or pooling software or hardware ''front end.''

(f) Note regarding the use of Microsoft BackOffice. The Server Software of Microsoft BackOffice (including Microsoft Mail) may not be separated for use on more than one Server. If you acquired Microsoft Mail as a component of Microsoft BackOffice your use of that component is subject to the terms and conditions of the separate end-user license agreement for that product provided in this package.

2. DESCRIPTION OF OTHER RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS.

For all SOFTWARE -- You may not use the Server Software as part of or as the basis for a commercial public access data network consisting of two or more servers that carries end-to-end electronic information traffic, such as messaging, data replication, fax, EDI, or telex, unless you obtain a separate commercial use license from Microsoft. You may not rent or lease the SOFTWARE, but you may transfer the SOFTWARE and accompanying written materials on a permanent basis, provided you retain no copies and the recipient agrees to the terms of this Agreement. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the SOFTWARE, except to the extent such foregoing restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law. Version Limitation -- The Server Software contains a certain version number (such as version ''3.5''). This License permits you to install one copy of the Server Software with the same (or a lower) version number as the Server Software version number listed above on a single computer (for example, if the version number listed above is ''3.5,'' you may install Server Software that contains a ''3.5'' or ''2.0'' version number, but not a ''3.6'' version number). Termination -- Without prejudice to any other rights Microsoft may terminate this License if you fail to comply with the terms and conditions of this License. In such event, you must destroy all copies of the SOFTWARE.

For Microsoft Windows NT Server  -- The Server Software may be used by no more than four (4) processors of the Server at any one time (support for greater than four processors is available from authorized computer hardware vendors). You need a separate Client Access License for Windows NT Server in order to access or otherwise utilize the following Windows NT Server basic network services: File Services (sharing and managing files and/or disk storage), Printing Services (sharing and managing printers), and Remote Access Service (accessing the server from a remote location through a communications link). You do not need a separate Client Access License for Windows NT Server to access or otherwise utilize any other Windows NT Server services, to access or run Microsoft or third-party server applications on Windows NT Server, or to otherwise use the Client Software. Note on Microsoft Windows for Workgroups software. The CD on which Windows NT Server resides may contain a copy of Windows for Workgroups software. Note that in order to install or use this software, you must acquire a separate Windows for Workgroups license.

For Microsoft SQL Server -- You do not need a separate Client Access License for SQL Server in order to execute SQL Server-to-SQL Server remote stored procedures (also referred to as database remote procedure calls). You may not disclose the results of any benchmark test of either the Server Software or Client Software to any third party without Microsofts prior written approval. Note regarding the use of run-time Software.

For Microsoft SNA Server --Your use of the SNA Server Client Software is governed by the terms of the license addendum accompanying the SNA Server software.

For Microsoft Systems Management Server --You must acquire at least one valid Server License for Microsoft SQL Server to use Systems Management Server. However, you do not need to acquire a Client Access License for Microsoft SQL Server to use the administration console or utilities provided with Systems Management Server to access or otherwise utilize the services of Microsoft SQL Server.
