Without repatching the system, it will be very difficult at best. Novell's
current patch system creates a new SERVER.EXE using the loader. Really all
you should have to do is replace SERVER.EXE since that's the key to the user
license. But the real problem is determining the current revision level of
your 50 user system versus the revision level of the 100 user executable.

Another problem you can have relates directly to the backup software you may
be using. Many backup packages are licensed and installed for a specific
user quantity that corresponds to the NetWare licensing agreement.
