Brief Description of Problem:
-----------------------------
Getting "too many users logged on" error when try to do remote logins to
their UNIX system. They think they have an unlimited user license.

| 3448.1 | not unlimited license | HYDRA::DORHAMER | Mon Apr 07 1997 15:31 | 13 | |
We confirmed that the OSF-BASE and OSF-USR license were active. The
OSF-USR license has 400 units (which is not unlimited as they thought
they had). I am trying to find out how many units per user are
required for the processor that they have (Alphastation 255/233), so
we can determine how many users they are actually licensed for.
Also, we checked the maxusers setting in the kernel configuration file.
It was set to 16 users, and there were 10 users logged on at the time I
spoke to John. I gave him instructions for increasing maxusers and
rebuilding the kernel, and told him that I'll call him back after I
check on how many users are supported for 400 units on his system.

| 3448.2 | four user license | HYDRA::DORHAMER | Mon Apr 07 1997 16:36 | 12 | |
I found that "lmf list for OSF-USR" will show how many users the
system is licensed for (I was looking at "lmf list full for OSF-USR"
which shows number of units rather than number of users; leaving off
the "full" from the command gives the number of users).
I asked John to check his system and it turns out that they are only
licensed for four users. He is looking for his paper pak, since he
thought that he had an unlimited user license. He will work with the
sales person that sold him the system to get the license he needs.

Subj: RE: license units question for Alphastation 255/233
If the PAK reads ACTIVITY=CONSTANT=100 (which is should btw) and the
PAK has
UNITS=400 - then it's a simple division of 400/100 = 4 users.
Hope this helps .. thanx ..... d.
