SBS 6.5 Beta Licensing Questions

[Prindl]

I've installed SBS 6.5 Beta - and read, that licensing will be done for SBS 6.5 like for Netware 6.x with sticky User licenses. My Question is, where do I find the - for me - most interesting information, how many user licenses are used and how many user licenses are free.

 

If I look into Remote Manager under licensing information I see a number of 4 licensed connections, but that number is exactly the number of the at the moment current connections (3 connections for the actual workstation connection I am using to run Remote Manager [1 HTTP (Remote Manager) connection, 1 Novell Client connection and a second connection I attribute to the already closed BackupExec Administrator Console] and 1 connection for an queue based printer).

 

If I look at the licensing report it shows the following information:

Connection License Info
  Current Licensed Conns..: 4
  Peak Licensed Conns.....: 4
  Max Grace Conns Allowed.: 3
  Current Grace Licensed..: 0
  Peak Grace Licensed.....: 0
  Acquire Requests........: 677
  Successes...............: 12
  Release Requests........: 664
  Successes...............: 8
  Releases during state...:
    Licensed..............: 8
    Unlicensed............: 0
    Already Being Released: 0
  Free Connection Requests: 665
  Current Free Conns......: 9
  Peak Free Conns.........: 10
  User Class Conn Req.....: 10
  User Conn Req proxied...: 3
  Non-User Class Conn Req.: 2

Total ConnMgr Requests....: 2078
  Ignored (Succeeded).....: 737

 

Am I correct in my assumption, that:

 a) the Beta License does not use the sticky licensing model and is a 10 User License;

 b) the Used User Licenses are the result of "Current licensed connections" less "User Conn Req proxied";

 c) the Remaining Unused User Licenses are "Current Free Conns"

 

 

Or an I completely mislead and have to look into some other location or data?

 

Thanks in advance for any insight to this matter.

Prindl,

You should be able to find the licensing information in iManager, or
laternately, you might use the old NWADMN32 and check the license
certificate properties to see the license usage.
