I guess it's a simple question, but I'm a bit confused. What counts as an Informix server license a user ?? a concurrent session ?? or anything else. If a person has two concurrent connections to a database server does he use 1 or 2 licenses ?? Regards Rainer

Concurrent connections is highly influenced by the application design. However webby connections are difficult to translate to # bums on seats; I haven't got any opinions on that
