Where did the PWA license accounting go in Project Server 2003?

[John Carter]

In Project Server 2002, using the administrative functions via the Project
Web Access client I was able to view the number of PWA clients licensed
versus the number of Active Users (licenses consumed). In Project Server
2003, I cannot find a comparable function available via the Project Web
Access client. Where can I find comparable information?

If I understand you correctly, Project Server 2003 doesn't have any place
where you enter the number of licenses you have. The "About" link in Admin
says how many are accounts are set up, but then you need to subtract out how
many Pro licenses you have to see how many PWA licenses you need.

John:

The feature, if you can call it that, doesn't mean very much. The number of
users in the system doesn't equal your license count because Project Server
creates accounts for non-human work resources, of which you might have many.

 

[John Carter]

Thank you for your response, however I would still like to know if the
software provides any information about the number of licensed seats used or
unused.

Clicking the "About" button on the server within the Admin area gives a total
PWA license count. However, our "active" users is 151, yet it says we are
using 153 licenses. We have nothing besides human resources listed and
generics...which we've verified are such.

Therefore, we can not account for the two that it says we have in use?

Is it possible that a person has gone to our site and "agreed" to a
license...yet it not show up?

In our environment, we ONLY allow windows authentication to sign on.
Therefore, I'd presume that unless a person has a wondows account they would
not be able to access the PWA successfully and would have to contact us and
we'd then know of the potential issue. But, is it possible for an
authenticated user who is not on the resource pool to sign up and "look".
