Dutch,
Yes I can access to generate a license, or increase the number of users. However, is it fair to sell something to my clients that is no longer supported, and has no development team to respond to changes in the Windows OS that Microsoft may initiate ?
It has happened before when they had support staff, and Microsoft networking could easily change once again in a future Windows update. Then the money people spent for ADS would be wasted, and they would be immediately inoperable ( except in peer to peer mode ).
If my rep responded to the questions I would be more comfortable, but to simply ignore my repeated emails suggests they are not actively involved, and that is not fair to my clients.
It is not about those who are running ADS now and will not need to expand. It's about those who need to spend money now to buy an initial license, or to expand a license. Is it fair to sell them something that could timeout in a year or two ?
