On an older server (didn't initially configure) I'm receiving a warning that
the "License usage for a product licensed in per server mode is nearing the
maximum number of licenses purchased. Consult the Application event log or
License Manager from the Administrative Tools folder for more information."

When I try to go to Licensing in Control Panel or Administrative tools, I
receive the following: "Not available in Microsoft BackOffice Small Business
Server. To add client licenses, choose Manage Server from the Start Menu and
select About Small Business Server"

Manage Server is not available from the Start Menu. I suspect the original
configurator of the server must have did a modified installation, though I'm
not sure why. Is there an executible I could run to access this Manager
Server program so I could determine the number of licenses we actually have
on this server?

If I do a winmsd, the Operating System is just listed as Windows 2000
Server. It says nothing about about it being a Small Business Server.

Thanks much.

Its been a long time since I had an SBS 2000 install. Is there anything
showing in add/remove programs that mentions SBS or its components?

No.

I see nothing under Windows Components, either, to indicated an SBS 2000
install

The problem was first addessed in Windows 2000 Service Pack 3. Your server
should be at SBS 2000 SP1a (which includes SP4 and other fixes, and was the
final service pack for SBS 2000).
