There are several considerations:
1. You may need to ask ND for a production license. When I first got my
software, I had a development license with only one dynachannel ( I was
entitled to 3). I had to ask for the production one.
2. In the 3.12 model, someone at ND made a determination that 10
dynachannels (concurrent db connections) could support 10x10 users. This
ratio was based on experimentation. I was licensed for 35 users and had 3
dynachannels. As it was explained to me, you could actually have many more
than 100 users connected with a 100 user license but the server would run
crappy. This seems sort of wierd, but it is actually pretty handy. As your
site grows, your customers are not rejected. Service declines and you get
indications in the log that it is time to buy more licenses. You send money
to ND and everybody is happy again.
3. There is a field in your license called "Exceed Action" that you can
check out. It tells the server what to do when you have exceeded your
maximum licenses. It can reject the connection (very bad) or wait until a
dynachannel becomes available and then gripe about it in the log file.
Check this out with ND support. I forget which value is which.
I suggest that you call ND support and check it out. They are very helpful
and will explain this far better than I did.
Hope this helps,
