Just look at what happened with their first stab at named user licensing
for the new 515 and 525 i5 models... it was switched to concurrent based
licensing virtually before the boxes even hit the street! For this type of
product (especially considering how it has been treated to date in terms of
licensing), concurrent licensing is definitely the way to go.

And IBM needs to know this. Like I said to Dave, it's up to the community to identify the real areas of concern and go after them. Don't tell anyone I said this, <grin> but I think IBM knows that concurrent is the right thing to do, it's just that it's hard to do. Think about it: if you sign on to four different 5250 sessions, is that four ADTS licenses? With named it's only one, with concurrent it's four. And think how fast it gets crazy with something like RDi. If I open a new workbench on my PC, is that another RDi license? If I'm doing a compile AND a verify at the same time, is that two compiler licenses? If not, does one hang while the other is running?

We all want the best solution, but we need to help IBM in identifying what that solution is.
