Re: 515 and 525 user licensing

No the 520 is priced as it always has been, no change to user based there.

Let me see if I can clear some fog on this user based thing.

There are three types of users:

1) Regular users. /No matter how they connect /these users count against licensed users. This includes employees and contractors but not customers, partners etc.

Regular users count against entitled users. Period.

2) External users. Such as customers, partners etc. These users are activated by purchasing a $4K 'External User Entitlement'. These are anyone who authenticates to a web application such as a bank customer checking an account, a customer placing an order.

External users do NOT count against entitled users. 'External User Entitlement' is required if you have ANY External users.

3) 'Not a user.' Such as casual web browser users who do not identify themselves at all who may view company information, sales literature, etc.

'Not a user's do not require any Entitlements.

Does that help?

So then let me ask this question. Are the new 520's also subject to this
(being that it sits between 515 and 525 as far as literal numbers go)?
I think this will be a great COMMON question (like others have stated).
Hopefully somebody that is well spoken will step up to the mic and
articulate the question/frustration.
