Constantly Adding CAL to NT License Manager

[termarias]

Hello. I having trouble with the NT License Manager (LM) software -- every other day, I have to increase the client access licenses. LM is setup in Server Mode for a 1000 licenses. However, when my users connect, they received the error, "no more connections could be made to the server." It's only until I bump up the number of licenses via the Licensing icon in Control Panel that the user is allowed to access his/her info. My server is now up to 15610 licenses. I've read some KB articles from Microsoft, stating that to clear this issue up is delete the file llsuser.lls from the Master License Server and the original problem server. I've done this many times, but still the problem remains.

In LM under Start - Programs -Admin Tools, some of my users were marked with warning sign (yellow triangle & "!"), which signifies "the products not in compliance with legal licensing requirements." I deleted these warnings and they haven't come back since -- it's been a few months now. Also, in this instance of LM, the license quantity displays the same number I increase
to -- so type of synchronization is occurring. In the Event Viewer, I get the message, "No license was available for user domain\userID using the product SMBServer 4.0" -- still receiving these message.

Could anyone please advise on this situation? Should I be deleting something else, maybe in the Registry. Would it be best to move my server to Windows 2000 or 2003? If so, do these operating systems have LM, something similar or has this program been discontinued? Thanks in advance. Take care.
