Is this information incorrect about 5 users per license? That's what the license text says. Up to 5 processes per user. To do that in Online 5.0, you must set the USERS and TRANSACTIONS in the TBCONFIG file the largest number of user processes PLUS the number of page cleaners PLUS two for the background processes. How you enforce the limit of only 16 real users is unspecified. I think they've reworked that in 6.0. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Jim Burks jburks@promus.com ~ ~ Database Administrator / Systems Engineer ~ ~ The Promus Companies, Inc.
