Author  Topic  kaps78 Starting Member 1 Post Posted - 2005-05-09 : 06:12:41 Hi All, I've recently re-installed SQL server. It worked fine for around a week and then started to give the following error everyday: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005' [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed. The maximum simultaneous user count of 400 licenses for this 'Standard Edition' server has been exceeded. Additional licenses should be obtained and installed or you should upgrade to a full version. I restart the machine to solve this problem. Restarting SQL services doesn't solve the problem. This error comes everyday. I've tried to read the apllication log but failed to trace the event message for the same. The SQL server setting for concurrent connections was set to zero earlier. I thought setting it to 400 might solve the problem - but it didn't. Please let me know if somebody has a solution to the problem. Thanks, Kapil Kapil Bhagia, Evalueserve, Gurgaon, India
