Re: Counting users

I applaud you trying to work with your customers.  Perhaps this is a price
they pay for productivity?

Leif,

I agree, this is very easy to do (in fact it's currently what we do now)
but this is not what they want. If a user can use two sessions to gain
faster access to different parts of the application, why should we charge
him twice? Their argument is is that they are only on one session at a
time.
