As the author of that statement, let me clarify.

Let us suppose you have a small "peer to peer" network of 7
or 8 systems.  That is to say they are connected together,
but do not use a file server.  

You have a 5 user DBT.  One of those systems needs to hold
and control the 5 licenses.  So when someone wants to run
DBT, their system looks at the machine holding the licenses,
which in turn "issues" a license to that user.  If 5 people
are using DBT at the same time, and a sixth person tries to
use it, they get a message from the license machine telling
them they will have to wait until someone stops using DBT
and releases a license.

Essentially therefore, what we are saying is that the
machine holding DBT's licenses cannot be a Vista system.

However, a single-user license of DBT can be used on Vista.

George.

    Quote from DBT 106. SR4 Help file...

"DBT can now be installed in Windows Vista. (But note that
slsService is not 
Vista-compatible, so if activation is to be shared among
many computers, the 
computer holding the activation must not be running Vista.
Other computers 
certainly can.)"
