NetWare 4.10 support additive licenses, if we have a 5-user license
file and a 10-user license file, and we install them on the same
server, we get a 15-user version server.
How about the 3.12 counterpart ? Does it support additive licenses ?
There is one more problem: there is no way to remove a license from a
server, unless we reinstall the server.  What if we unintentionally
install two servers from the same CD-ROM, which results in a copyright
violation. But we do have two legal server CD-ROM's, do we have any
other choices ?
The license file from Chenyenne ArcServe is quite restrited, too.  If
the ArcServe license file is for 5-user, it will not run on a server
that is not exactly 5-user licensed, no more and no less.  Is that
reasonable ?
Thanks in advance.
