When do I need a NetWare license for Novell BorderManager?
A. Novell BorderManager users never require a NetWare license. The only time a NetWare user license is consumed is when an administrator connects to NDS to use NWAdmin from the BorderManager server. There is no requirement for the NetWare user license size to match the BorderManager license size. Q. When do I need a user license for Novell BorderManager? A. NBM is licensed by user, not by server. Like the new NetWare model, you may have as many servers as you need. A BorderManager “user” (for licensing purposes) is anyone who authenticates to a BorderManager service. The following services do not involve user authentication and do not require users to be licensed with BorderManager licenses: • routing • NAT • packet filtering • site-to-site VPN • proxies when authentication is disabled The following services require a BorderManager user license for each user that has rights in NDS to use the service: • modem sharing (WIN2NCS) and RAS (PPPRNS) • IP Gateway (IP/IP and IPX/IP) • SOCKS Gat
