After the CADstation Swap

The new CADstations were swapped out with their old counterparts starting on Wednesday. After the third one was setup and connected to the office network, the entire process came to a halt. Seems there was a problem with WinVista licenses registering properly. We're all good on licenses but something in the process just didn't fly right.

A call to Dell by our IT staff got the response of "you should have gotten a volume license" or something like that which would allow us to run a single WinVista license on the twenty machines. I found that odd though. If a fourth unique license wouldn't work, what's to say the volume license would keep plowing through. Nonetheless, the IT staff got things resolve and the process resumed on Friday.
