Steven,
Cancelling the contract and letting it expire may NOT be the answer.
You might have to pay the initial $$$$$$$ fee again and then the yearly
support fee. Granted the yearly support fee may be less but the initial
fee is like "space panties" (out of this world).

Cancel the contract and renew it with a different number
of users. Once the old contract has expired and is no
longer in force you are not "changing" the number of users
since it is a new contract. It may be that playing hardball
is the only way to get their attention.
