NAS/Windows Storage Server 2K3 question

[robward]

I have had a HP StorageWorks NAS 1200S dumped on me to be used for file storage. The unit has Windows Storage Server 2003 installed on it.

The question I have is how is this operating system licensed? Can I just attach as many clients as want to this device or do I need to purchase additional licenses over and above the ones received with the unit?

Thanks in advance

Gavin

They should be able to answer your question, but you might need to know the details of it's purchase. A lot of times it is included in a Volume licensing program or Software Assurance.
