Mike,
Not sure about Stephen's tip. Unless you are charging big bucks per user.
You would have to track - on a daily basis logged in users. Then, would
have to show those days where usage was exceeded. You would have variable
billing. Seems like a lot of work - depending on the incremental charge.
Then, billing could be questioned and you would have to answer. Might be
easier to license for n and allow for n+2 users or something like that.
n <> n + 2....lol!
Seriously though...if you track license usage, then you already have
something in place for daily basis in users as you said. You could
give a kind warning, maybe giving them X warnings before a surcharge
kicked in. All done programatically (until the limit is met, and
then you'd manually bill them if they accepted some "WARNING:
PROCEEDING WILL INCUR A FEE OF $5 FOR THIS EXTRA USER BEYOND YOUR
LICENSE LIMIT." or something nicer and friendlier than that.
I don't think I would do that anyway, but it's an interesting discussion.
I do not think that that would be workable. If there are that
many users, the end user who would "proceed" likely does not have
authorisation to incur expenses on behalf of the client. The client
might well repudiate the charge and could have good legal grounds to
do so. (It is not reasonable to expect a clerk to have such authorisation.)
Sincerely,
Gene Wirchenko
