BUG: Unable to View SQL Server 2000 From the Licensing Manager "Product View" Tab (306247)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (all editions)
This article was previously published under Q306247 BUG #: 355263 (SHILOH_BUGS) SYMPTOMS On a Microsoft Windows 2000-based computer or a Microsoft
Windows NT 4.0-based computer, when you select LICENSING MANAGER from the Administrative Tools menu, it is not possible to view a member server's installation
of SQL Server 2000, or it's licensing information under either the Products View or the Server Browser tabs. CAUSE For SQL Server 2000, one of the licensing options that was
included in the product was the "Per Processor" license. However, the standard
Windows NT licensing applet or APIs do not support a per processor licensing
concept. Therefore, a new SQL Server licensing applet was created to support
both per-processor and per-seat licensing. Unfortunately, you can no longer use
the Windows NT Licensing program from the Administrative Tools menu (was called License Manager in Windows NT 4.0) to track SQL
Server 2000 per seat licenses.
STATUS Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server
2000.
