Back when I was in high school, student accounts on the district's student timeshare system (IBM 370/135 running McGill University MUSIC) had concurrent sessions disabled by default, because there were generally more students than terminals at any given time, and a student using more than one terminal was effectively keeping at least one other student off the system.

One of our customers (and only one) has concurrent terminal sessions disabled by default. As one who can easily keep multiple terminal sessions busy, I'm morbidly curious as to why, in an era when terminal sessions are not a particularly limited resource, an installation would do this.

Any insights?
