As mentioned before, if you use Redback you can multiplex until you are blue-in-the-face. Redback is not that expensive to purchase.

However if you had persistence in the UvBasic program where the past activity of that web user is recorded and then used in a future action then you may be crossing the line. What people are doing is through special programs and queuing where they can run several users continuously with several background processes that stay active. This is what IBM has frowned upon. User1 ------- ------- Process1 \ / User2 ------------ Multiplex 1xU2 License ------------- Process2 / \ User 3 ------ -------- Process3 Understand that this equates to a loss of revenue to IBM and sooner or later one should expect that they will take action. This is not an ethics issue; it falls under the rules of Piracy ie running one Microsoft Word on multiple PCs. The criminal and civil actions apply to the customer as much as they do to the partner that sells the solution, so one has to tread very carefully down this path. Worldwide IBM, Microsoft and a number of vendors have formed a piracy coalition hiring lawyers and that works with Governments and law enforcement to attack piracy. Large fines and jail sentences have been given to suppliers committing piracy and CIOs' have lost jobs and CIOs' and Companies have been fined for breaching license agreements. Under SOX this is becoming a bigger issue. One cannot pretend the rules are not there, there should be activities to ensure special licensing arrangements are in place for 3rd party applications as they are for RedBack.
