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. Thanks.
