n4ServerInfo and Max Connections

Keywords:   n4ServerInfo	n3ServerInfo maxconnections

Question:

What does Maximum number of connections the server will support indicate?

It most certainly does not indicate the maximum number of licensed connections.

Answer:

I dredged up the Novell documentation. Here are what seem to be the relavent bits... 
- - - 
maxConns 
The maximum number of connections the server will support. The connection table for 4.0 is dynamic.
This number will be the maximum of what the table has grown to

For NetWare 3.x, all connections are considered licensed. For NetWare 4.x, many connections do not
require a server license

After further going over the documentation, there was no hint as to how to tell how many licensed connections a n4 server will support. This is from the Novell help file, C_APIREF.HLP, Dated 7/25/96.
