[OPLINTECH] Cassie print release stations with Windows server?

[Ed Liddle]

I don't use cassie print release stations. Here are my thoughts: They may be talking about windows 7 being limited to 20 concurrent connections, see page 2 of the attachment. I downloaded it from here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/legal/intellectualproperty/UseTerms/default.aspx 

 e. Device Connections. You may allow up to 20 other devices to access software installed on the
licensed computer to use only File Services, Print Services, Internet Information Services and
Internet Connection Sharing and Telephony Services.

There is some speculation that if one device connects to a windows 7 machine for both a shared folder and printing, then that will count as 2 and not one since it makes 2 different connections to the windows 7 machine, one for printing and one for accessing the shared folder.

I hope this helps!

Subject: [OPLINTECH] Cassie print release stations with Windows server?

We have old PCs running Windows 7 professional for our two Cassie print
release stations, and sometimes the one on the main floor can't be found
by the patron computers when they try to print. Librarica says this
might be due to the number of clients that can connect, and that
switching to Windows Server with enough client access licenses might
solve this problem.

Any thoughts on this? Does anyone use Windows Server on a Cassie print
release station?
