Re: [FW-1] Installing FW-1 4.1 on Win NT

Quote,

NT4 SERVER has enhanced features that make it a powerful network server
operating system for server-based applications, such as SQL Server, Systems
Management Server, SNA Server, and Exchange Server. In the supplied retail
version, it supports up to 4 processors (CPU's) in a symmetric
multiprocessing environment. All clients that access NT Server as a file and
printer server, or through remote access, require a Client Access Licence.
This does not apply to HTTP and other Internet connections. The only limit
on the number of incoming concurrent sessions is the number of licences
purchased.

NT4 WORKSTATION is designed and tuned as a multitasking, desktop operating
system, and has a fixed limit of 10 incoming concurrent sessions (this does
not apply to HTTP and other Internet connections).

Licensing. NT WS is not supposed to be used because its license does not
allow multiple connections. Firewalling results in multiple connections as
far as MS is concerned.

You can do the install with a WS disk, you probably want to make sure you
have a server license though.
