setup /t RegistryRebuild

[Jaya]

Hi all

I have a client application which is running winnt4 sp6, sql7 sp1, gives the following error.

Msg 18458, Level 14, State 1, Server Microsoft SQL Server, Line 0
Login failed- The maximum simultaneous user count of 5 licenses for this
server has been exceeded. Additional licenses should be obtained and
registered via the Licensing application in the NT Control Panel.

I have found in technet article no Q180364, which ask to rebuild the registry of sql server. Was wondering anybody had the same experience. I can't shutdown the server more than 30 mins.

Any guidence or suggestion ?

Thanks in Advance

There is ABSOLUTELY no need to REBUILFD registry. This is Licensing Issue.
You have to increse the number of Licenses on the SQL server box.

For your info

Error 18458
Severity Level 14
Message Text
Login failed. The maximum simultaneous user count of %d licenses for this server has been exceeded. Additional licenses should be obtained and registered through the Licensing application in the Windows NT Control Panel.

Explanation
This error occurs when the server is set for Per Server licensing and the number of attempted client connections exceeds the number of Client Access Licenses for this server.

Action
Obtain additional Client Access Licenses or reduce the number of simultaneous client connection attempts.
