I can't either.  Last year when trying to decide whether to buy Framemaker
or Publisher, I explained the Arbortext floating license concept to my
Framemaker sales rep, who said that something like that might happen in
the future for Framemaker, but the quotes we got were all for one copy per
node.  As far as I know, the Arbortext people invented the floating
license.  That's the way we run Publisher here.
