Our organization recently upgraded our AREV to the

Unlimited Lan Pack. We don't even have 200 work stations

but users are frequently getting the Too many users message,

which will not allow them to log on. Any ideas as to why,

or what I have to do to get rid of the problem.

Cynthia,

I;m having the same problem on a Novell 4.11 server. We found out that during boot-up, any of our network users are attached to two or three servers for quick switching in and out. One of the servers many users connect to manages our corporate Purchasing system. It is a non-AREV product, and has a maximum user license of 250 SL's.

For some reason, the NLM-protected server is responding to this "max users" condition on the other server, and prohibits additiona requests to connect to the AREV product/server.  There's been instances where ony 34 users were logged in, and #35 was denied due to the other server's max condition.  When our Novell network Admin. deleted connections to the non-AREV server, the NLM allowed continued connections.  If you get a resonse, I'd appreciate your sharing it with me at mredwci@cboss.com.

thanx.

How about checking that you were successfully logged on to each server prior to running Arev. If unsuccessful with a particular server, detach it.

In theory, if you're not logged in, it shouldn't check, but even so, it's based on the user count of the EXE. Wonder if it's based on server version or client version
