|Let me repeat this. If you have 30 Suns, and you get a 5 user license, |Publisher can be used on ANY of the 30 machines. But only 5 at a time. | | |FINALLY! A software vendor has come out of the dark ages! I don't get it. Is this enforced in the software? So what happens when a secretary wants to use Publisher but 2 other secretaries and 3 grad students are already using it? Go persuade somebody to logoff? Fume? (This is not a hypothetical situation. It can be very real with a big user community.) If not enforced, then what was the point of the limitation? Ken PS: Certainly this type of license is novel but doesn't quite cut it. Networked systems need better solutions.
