5849.0. "wrong kit messes up licensing, is there a fix?" by axel.zko.dec.com::FOLEY (http://axel.zko.dec.com) Wed Mar 26 1997 11:45

Hi,

	A system in our group got upgraded from Windows NT 3.51 Server
	to Windows NT 4.0 Server. Unfortunately, it was done with
	an MSDN disk that limits the client licenses to 5 max. Would
	a re-install with a valid non-MSDN Windows NT 4.0 kit fix
	this problem?

	We have the valid licenses, the system was just installed with
	the wrong kit.

	thanks,

							mike

    Yes, you have to reinstall NT:  the license limit is hardcoded into the 
    MSDN kits.
