A session is a open telnet / uniobjects session. OPEN is the key word (as in active open in use) :-)
It's just like you have now, but a single MAC / IP address is allowed multiple sessions up to X to combine into 1 license. I think Enterprise edition already has the 10 device. It would be nice for Rocket to chime in here, and clarify in black and white... -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Friday, October 22, 2010 10:50 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Licensing >>But that device license limit is PER SESSION... >>So you buy 3.

In terms of the licensing agreement, what is a SESSION? Is it the same as a login? Assuming device licenses with a limit of 3 connections, can you login twice and get all 6 connections? Or is it based on the IP address and 6 sessions will use 4 licenses?
