If you log off and on, it does satisfy the licensing - letter and intent... BUT usually the performance hit is so high that it FORCES you to connection pooling - or to have lots more seats! Both of which make IBM-Rocket happy. <g>
I'm still wondering how they can get 175 users through 2 seats -- unless each user does 2 things a day!! My understanding was that you either had to have a seat for each 'logical' connection to a user, or sign off/sign on between each 'thing' - and the overhead for going off and on is INSANE in any way I've tried to make it work... So - I understand your point George -- I am in the same headspace!
