Installed 6.5 user license on 6.0 server - not being used

[HotEye]

Hi all,
I have installed 5 user licenses for 6.5 on a 6.0 server and none of the licenses are being used.

How do I get the system to use the user licenses?

Kind regards
Philip

NW6.5 licenses won't work on a 6.0 server. You need to get 6.0 licenses, or upgrade your server to NW6.5. Since you have the licenses already, you might as well upgrade.

You can download NW6.5 software from

Thanks for the info. I purchased 5 licenses for Netware 6.5 and Prior, it would have been nice if somewhere it said that they were not compatible, they installed without error!

Back to the supplier and hope they can sort it out.
Kind regards

If you have "6.5 AND PRIOR", you just need to call Novell and tell them you need them to send you 6.0 licenses till you can get your server upgraded. They will do this, it's part of the "And Prior" clause. We do this all the time.

Thanks Marvin, I have now received the v6.0 license from Novell and all appears OK.

Kind regards
