I think I was told a full reinstall would be required. I do remember however an admin saying to upgrade NW3.12, from a 5 to say 20 user copy, the only thing that changes is a bit of code in the server.exe . Thus the only thing he was changing was just that, the server.exe .... I don't know if this holds true with NW 4.1 --- 6b416e55724565446549 * Origin: ------------------------------------------------------ 1:246/53.2) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 194 NOVELL Ref: DFK00041 Date: 11/17/96 From: BEN BERGERON Time: 01:09am \/To: FRANK RAMSEY (Read 5 times) Subj: Re: Server message *** Quoting Frank Ramsey to Wim Van Noort dated 11-12-96 *** > WV> Situation: Novell 4.10 Server P120 with 48megs RAM and > WV> 4,3Gb HD.

Unless you are worried about prying fingers getting in.... even then, once you login with the PW, I highly doubt you watch the BBS 24-7. Sysops DO have a life.....
