Windows NT4 Back Office License.

    I have duplicated this from the Wanted forum to the Computer forum in the hope of a quicker response. My apologies if I'm breaking any rules.

    Hi ,

    I have a customer who currently runs MS NT4 Back Office on a PII/300 Server. The machine merely shares a directory that contains a database file required by his shops sales app - Chancellor and authenticates users for access to same.

    Up until recently he has had only 4 clients connected to this machine but recently has added a further 3 new machines with the obvious result that his current license doesn't cover it being only a 5 client one.

    Unfortunately MS no longer support/sell this OS so it's not possible to buy more client licenses. The customer does not want the added expense of Windows 2000/2003 server so that option is out.

    Does anybody know of a license upgrade pack lying around in a press somewhere that they could sell to me to help this customer out, it must be legit. A legit version of NT4 Server with a minimum of 10 clients would also do.

    Don't bother suggesting Linux/Unix, I've tried persuading the customer towards this route but he's reluctant.

    Thanks in advance.

    ZEN
