The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
This could be quite confusing. What happens when a change management app is involved, and all "compiles" are performed by a default user. It could be argued that this would technically be one seat, yet many programmers could be using change management....

Yeah, this is where I got really confused. If you have four

do they all need seats to the compiler?
When we asked this exact question Joe we were told it mean a named
User. So yes - 4 developers = four seats. However it was also
pointed out that it was on the honor system and that it would not be
enforced. I wish they'd switch to a "Number of compiles" pricing
approach.
The only thing that "seat" licenses do for a tool like the compiler
is to either force people to be dishonest, or to find some
circumvention. For example I submit compile requests to a queue and
they are processed by a job that runs under a single User Id.
Probably perfectly legal - just adds nuisance value and annoys the
users.
