Hi.
Informix consume one license for each connection.
Informix don't control the user name at connection time to verify the
licenses number, only do that for database privileges.
If you do onstat -u you can see the same user with more one
connections (one more licenses consumed).
You can increase the licenses number acording the concurrents
connections for the same user.
For example if you have 100 users and each user do 2 connections
to IDS you will be define 200 users at IDS configuration, otherwise
only 50 users will be connect to IDS.
Be fun.
