I wonder where mine went. It used to be on the window here behind the bar.

Upgraded to the 2018 version of Sage last night to see if that would include fixes causing crashes for end users. Nope. During my 4 years in IT, I cannot think of any software I loathe more.

This is one of those weeks, I'm ready for the weekend. No shortage of things planned... Now whether or not I actually get to do them remains to be seen.

TGIF everyone. Almost there...

You can do anything for ten seconds. Just keep going ten seconds at a time.

Definitely how I'm feeling today. Today is absolutely going to be a beer or 3 for lunch kind of day.

Bah. Deal for selling out old Altigen server is going to fall through, because I realized the Windows 7 license that was on the machine was a NFR license, and the buyer requires it to come with a Windows 7 license.

That and WIndows 7 can't be licensed for PBX usage, so it would be a license violation no matter what.

Never knew there was such a restriction. Learn something every day :(.

For all intents and purposes, Windows desktops can't be used as servers. Think about it, if they could, no one would buy servers. Desktop licenses would be a magic workaround to the licensing. There are very specific exceptions, but basically, if you want something to act as a server, you have to license a server.
-
The one real exception is SMB. Windows desktops are allowed a very small number of peer ot peer SMB file sharing connections without requiring a server license and CALs. And you can use them as really crappy network routers. But that is basically it. Anything like running a server application on it, you can't do.
-
This is the same problem that makes VirtualBox, Spiceworks or 3CX super expensive. To do anything useful with them, you need a Windows server license.

Are you talking about "Workgroups"?

Yep. Makes perfect sense, and it was always suspicious about it. Another win deploying my FreePBX system.

Yup, amazing how Windows has so many caveats to simple things. You really have to be constantly watching.
