Which is one of the reasons why named licensing will be a disaster. Another is employee turnover in a shop the size of mine. We need to convince IBM that concurrent licensing is the right way to go.

You got it, Dave. And that's why I want the freaking static level about WDSC V7 to just go away; it distracts from the stuff that matters. Concentrate on this issue, and write EVERYBODY you know - George, Sam, your congressman, your mom, I don't care. And don't just complain, explain why concurrent is the right option. Use real world examples.

For instance, I think the concept of consultants being able to move from client to client is a huge one. Sure, if you regularly have 10 consultants working, you need 10 licenses, but concurrent will handle that. If on the other hand, you have three guys who each come in once or twice a month, you can't possibly justify three named licenses. And if the workaround is to name them all CONSULT, then IBM should have to sit in the room with your auditors <grin>.

It's a tough thing, licensing, but they need to get it right, and it's up to US, the user community, to tell them what we need.
