LeRoy, Perhaps I don't fully understand your example, but I don't see the distinction here. If I have a webpage that sends a request to the U2 database (via any method mentioned in this thread) and waits for it's response then goes on with it's own life each web site vistor would only be using the database services for the duration of the request. Now if I have a service (phantom) that is trying to service these web requests it can only service one at a time. Stated another way only one web-user is accessing the database at a time. Are you saying that this violates the license?
I can understand your position only if each of the web sessions maintains some kind of persistent connection to the database. A request/response messaging system should not violate the concurrent license restrictions. BTW, thank you for posting in this thread.

"The more they complicate the plumbing the easier it is to stop up the drain" - Montgomery Scott NCC-1701 Craig, Since MQ is designed to be send and forget technology, and because you can have multiple listeners, there is nothing to stop you, and is, in fact, the purpose of the technology. However, remember that if you are using MQ as a means of users communicating with the database in the scenario you describe, you are using MQ as a de facto connection pool and violating your U2 license agreement if you don't have the equivalent number of U2 licenses that match the interactive users.
