Checklist: Set up licensing for the enterprise

When you create a Windows Server 2003 operating system site, license logging is also set up for the site. However, you might need to change the licensing setup for the site, or for individual servers in the site. To configure licensing locally on a server, using Licensing in Control Panel, see Checklist: Configure licensing on a server.

This checklist shows the steps that are required to configure licensing on a remote server.
