30 CAL's installed on 2003 Server, but limited to 10 concurrent us

We have Windows Server 2003 in a workgroup environment, I have 20 Per Device
CAL's installed on the server, and 30 per server CAL's installed, yet when
more then 10 users try to connect to their mapped network drives they are
recieving a "Server has reached its maximum concurrent connections." error
message. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Thanks in advance.

“Server has reached its maximum concurrent connections�



Symptom: You have 20 per user CALs installed on a Windows server in a workgroup network. When there are more than 10 users access the server resources, the users receive "Server has reached its maximum concurrent connections" message.



Cause and resolution: A workgroup is limited 10 connection sessions. If you have more than 10 users or connections, you should install a domain network.

Actually, I already figured it out, the Set maximum concurrent users somehow
got changed to 10 on the server share. All is well, thanks though.
