Thanks.  No I have some small understanding of this.   Actually, MS is
kinda going like Novell where you need a license for each server you attach to, 
but the licenses are assigned to the server (i.e. if the server permits 50 
connections, then the first 50 users or printers can attach and any over 50 are 
rejected).
