License Question on IDS

A few questions: How are the number of users counted on IDS? Is it the number of database connections or the number of users? We have a customer that has a 11 user license on IDS 7.3x. If we have a D4GL (or even I4GL) process that is connected to the database and it spawns another process "RUN .... WITHOUT WAITING", does that use another user of the IDS? They are getting the error -25588 at times. Does D4GL use the ipcshm or tlitcp protocol under NETTYPE? Should the # users in the NETTYPE setting specify the maximum # users the license is for, or can it be more? When a user runs our application (in 4GL or D4GL), it will start other 4GL or D4GL processes and we're not expecting each of those spawned processes to count as a licensed user.
