But that device license limit is PER SESSION... 

So you buy 3.  Power user uses 4 -- Power user eats TWO real licenses.  One
for the '3' device licensed, then one for each thereafter.  Even if every
other user is just using one seat.

SO -- if you had 300 seats, and only 2 or 3 users needed 2 or 3 sessions, it
may be CHEAPER to just buy more seats on a server license than to waste
device licensing on all... It's all math!   BUT -- where we installed it, it
seems that most users immediately used them -- they ALL needed (wanted?)
more connections, but were locked out.

So for example, if you have a few users that use several sessions then it 
would be more cost effective to buy for example 3 seats.  Most users would 
only use 1, but the power users would use maybe 2 licensesfor 6 separate 
sessions.  You have to balance wasted sessions against the users who would 
use multiple licenses.
