Event ID 202
Discussion: While checking Application Log on one of my W2003 servers, I
came across this error - License Service Event ID: 202. I read the MS
support pages, etc. Basically I found that under
AdminTool/Licensing/Clients, there are many "clients" that ARE NOT current
employees. Under PROPERTIES it shows the last log-on date. Some are over 5.5
years old.

THE QUESTIONS: Should I delete these people or just revoke the license? and
what is the difference between revoking and deleting?

MY THOUGHTS: Delete these people and keep the data base clean all the time
to only reflect current employees.

These people are not in the current active directory either.
