    Brief Description of Problem:
    -----------------------------

Licensing question. The product is a spread sheet, which runs on open VMS.
The question is when a user running this application, due to some reason or
other (say for cut and paste from one windows to another) need to invoke the
application twice. So the LMF is looking for two user license ( in this case)
What Arthur wants is license based on number of user basis and not on
number of times invoked. How to do this on VMS?

3490.1	LMF V1.2 may help	HYDRA::NEWMAN	Chuck Newman, 508/467-5499 (DTN 297), MRO1-3/F26	`Tue Apr 15 1997 17:22`	21
	Here's a note from someone in VMS engineering. See also note 3453.9 in this conference. LMF V1.2 has a new license type I called a USER license that allows unlimited use to a user. Then when that user is done using the license, the license is then automatically available (like a failover) to another user in the cluster. Unlike the currently available personal use license, the new USER license doesn't have to manually assigned via a reserve list to a specific user. Unfortunately, since the Digital Business folks didn't want to do the work required to offer this type of license, only Digital can generate the USER type license PAK. For third parties to use this license type, a new release of the PAKGEN product. There are no plans to do this. Feel free to submit a Request SPR to ask for this. Customer demand is likely to be the only thing that will get this to happen. (I suspect that this would require your customers to upgrade to V7.1 -- Chuck Newman)

	From: HYDRA::LNARAYAN "R Lakshminarayan, Software Partner Engg" 16-APR-1997 16:50:44.23 To: US4RMC::"[email protected]" CC: LNARAYAN Subj: licensing question... Arthur User based license insted of activity based ( current implementation) is possible, when suitable changes are made to LMF V1.2 (shipping with VMS 7.1) What I mean is the feature that you are looking for is not avaliable with LMF now. But this feature can make avaliable if some suitable changes are made to the PAKGEN/LMF code ( our product) Unfortunately due to Digital Business restrictions this is not implemented.
