I have seen and used multiplexing software where you specify the number of licenses (ports) to be used. If you assign 10 ports for example, then the 11th user has to wait until a port is freed up. Ideally the requests only take up a few seconds, so the 11th user does not have to wait that long.
Under a multiplexing setup, utilizing client-server 100% you might be able to purchase fewer licenses then under a non client server setup. You could have 1,000 actual users for example only consume 200 concurrent licenses at one time with a client-server setup. I have used other software packages (Saleslogix) that require each and every unique user to have a license. >From your email, you seem to hint that Redback is exempt from the IBM licensing scheme, is that correct ? --- D Averch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > They U2 OEM Handbook it states: > > "Customers are required to purchase a number of > licenses equal to the > maximum number of concurrent solution users. > > For example, if either third party or in-house > transaction-based > multiplexing software (e.g. Transaction Processing > (TP) Monitor, Web > servers, etc.) or hardware, other than RedBack, is > used in conjunction with > U2, you will be required to purchase the number of > licenses equal to the > actual number of licenses you have used without > multiplexing software." > > Think of this scenario.
