From: Kirk Goins
Another point a 'user' is someone who has been authenticated by
either the OS or an application that access the OS.

I hate to quibble with an otherwise good point, but a user is an individual who authenticates against the OS, period. I've read the language of the license and IBM doesn't bother to qualify it, so why should we?

So a System running say DOMINO where no one other than the
admins log in to the green screen, still need licensing for the number
of 'concurrent' users accessing Domino.

Actually, that may not be the case. It depends on whether the individual or application is using IBM i authentication or not. Users could be accessing a Web application and authenticating against a Domino database, and not be subjected to user based licensing.

A lot of web applications running under IBM i are not subject to extra license fees because they don't use IBM i authentication, nor do they require IBM i Access or other client software that is subject to entitlement.
