Re: Thread process and Informix license

Andrew: From the intraware web page. You can go there by going into www.informix.com, select products, select try and by, select purchase. The URL is: http://www.intraware.com/shop/pricing.html?PLNE=000036 You can read the definition of user as: "User Definition: "User" means the maximum number of users at any one instance in time. A batch process or an individual is counted as one User. However, when an individual has multiple connections to a product, these connections are counted as multiple users. When a multiplexing front end, such as a transaction manager, is used to reduce the number of direct connections to the Product, the number of front-end connections are counted as users, rather than the smaller number of back-end connections. " I do not know if this is the "official" Informix definition of user or just a standard definition that intraware has. Tino Andrew Lawrenson wrote: > > >>From: "Art S.
