How Informix counts number of licensed users? HELP

Informix licenses operate on an honours system except for one user licenses which are normally distributed as evaluation copies. These will enforce one user only. rgds -- -- Peter Tashkoff NZ Kiwifruit Project Consultant/DBA Marketing Board.

I've got a very strange problem with my OnLine 6.0 on SCO. The problem is : I have Informix licensed for 5 concurrent users. But I can connect to OnLine as many users as I wish. I've tried at least 16(!!!) users at one time. It doesn't rejects me! The question is: how OnLine counts users? Does it counts connections, user sessions, userthreads, transactions or something else? In all cases it was more than 5 while I've made such experiments! I don't know what to do further - my application should not allow to connect more than 5 users at one time! Could anybody make this clear for me? (please!!!) Thanx in advance. Ivan Lyakhovenko, xTech Ltd., Novosibirsk, Russia
