With 3.x you just replace the Server.exe file in the Dos boot partition or on 
the floppy if a floppy boot is used. Then bounce the server to load the new 
licence.
NW 2.2 was the bastard for licence upgrades. You regenerate the operating 
system, and replace the Net$os.exe in the sys:system directory with the newly 
generated one. To regenerate you had to locate all the NIC and HDD (SCSI or 
whatever) driver object files as well, and also find all other previously 
used generation parameters. The server still needed to be bounced. And if 
there were an error in the generation, start all over again.
As far as I can remember, NW 2.1x only came in one size.
With the NW 4.1 stackable licences, the server does NOT need to be bounced.
Regards,
        Richard.
