Hi Folks, Has anyone ever heard of a concurrent licensing deal being struck between an organisation and MI before?? As an interim step between adhoc use of MapInfo and a full blown enterprise solution, I'd like to negotiate with MI a concurrent license where we may install MI locally on more machines than we have licenses for, but manage use in such a way that we won't be using anymore than x licenses at any one time. The rationale is that we are a growing user of spatial information, with a core skill group in MapInfo and increasing demand from novice users. Until we reach a point where we can a) justify a sole GIS resource to assist novice users or b) justify an enterprise-wide GIS solution, I'd like to be able to get more use out of our (not very) current 35 licenses (we would rarely have more than 3 users at a time, in a geographically distributed organisation of nearly 70,000 people). If anyone has such an example of concurrent licensing (is this the right phrase??), I'd be very pleased to hear about it... Cheers!! Alistair
