License data within processing

[tom heine]

i agree, but if 16 licenses is cheaper than paying people
to do extra navigation, what is the big deal with 32?  its 
a one shot deal.   5 people maybe will represent 250k in
yearly salaries.  isn't it worth 2k to make them much more
productive?

we make extensive use of system calls and people running
two sesssions at a time, and for the most part, a 16 user license
with 5 users rarely if ever runs out of licenses.
