And, I believe, as a convenience you can set up another requester
immediately and put in the order for the license card simultaneously.
There is no software-imposed limit on the number of clients; this is
licensing on the honor system.  (Please don't abuse it.)

I believe there is also a tiered pricing strategy at several plateaus;
you should be able to purchase LS 3.0 with 50 client licenses for less
than the cost of LS 3.0 with 50 separate, individually purchased
client licenses, for example.

Note also that LS 3.0 (either version, I believe) supports up to about
1000 users (up to 250 per network card in the server; up to four
network cards in the server).
