Filepro-list Digest, Vol 100, Issue 27

[Dennis Malen]

We have discussed this before and many of us would upgrade if licensing were
based upon each user. We have a minimum of two  windows open and many times
each user has 3 - 5 windows open to access different aspect of filepro
information. 

It works great and I love filePro but the new licensing prevents most of us
from upgrading.

Here is what one of my clients wrote after getting a 5 user Windows runtime.
They have 3 people and each one opens 2 windows.

...5 runtimes would be enough. It isn't. We keep running into a license
error issue when we are all trying to work at the same time. 
FilePro then times out and we have to wait until the system lets us back in.
Not an efficient way to run a business.

Is this the new licensing?  It used to be that each users sessions were one
license.  So is the license for sessions, or users?
