fizban2 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 the first DC that is created in a domain will be the site license server, if there is no domain on a 2003 box go into the control panel and there will be the licensing tool, these are installed by default Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bijicool Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I didn't mean to say that the licensing service isn't a good and handy toolbut technically, to make things work, it isn't necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
