I have a Nav installation supporting 65 users on SQL, 50 users in the UK and the remainder in a factory in Germany. The users in Germany connect to the server through a VPN and a Citrix client. This has all been running well for a time but the users in Germany are complaining about slow response and it seems the latency on their line has increased but the ISP is not interested.
From a licensing point of view, what are the implications of giving them their own server? The total number of users / granules / codeunits etc. would remain the same but I would just host some of those users on a different server simply to overcome the latency.
Do I need a complete new Nav license for a second server?

The problem is that the location is quite a long way from a major town and ISPs do not offer very good speeds. However, we have just been offered another service from a different ISP which is supposedly a 6Mb sync connection so we'll try that.
Would be nice to know we would not get stung by MS though simply for "moving data" to get around a latent WAN issue.

Have your partner check on multi-site license agreements. There is a section of PartnerSource about it. I know that MS will do these agreements but also I don't believe they will do them for less then 50 combined users.
We have 68 users in total so perhaps there is a possibility?
