Access Problems on a NW6 Server

Q.
Dear Ab-end: I'm having odd access problems with my NetWare 6 server--some users can get onto it and others cannot. For example, Windows 9x users, IPX users, and admin usually can gain access, but the Windows NT/2000/XP users, IP users, and non-admin users usually cannot.
I've checked client versions, taken LAN traces and applied Support Pack 3 to the NetWare 6 server, nothing seems to help. What do I do now?

Dear Alex: I'm afraid that this is yet another licensing issue. For some unknown reasons licensing problems rarely affect the Windows 9x clients or IPX users. After applying Support Pack 3, you need to also apply NLS603ft.exe.
Also ensure that every server has a unique server license assigned to it and if you have installed non-MLA/CLA, user (Connection) licenses, ensure that these are not assigned to a server and are in the same container as the user objects. These licenses can also be above in the tree (but not to the side or down the tree).
