Therefore, a 1-16 user : license is sufficient for an organisation of 100 users using the : BSDI Internet server as a gateway for SMTP and WWW traffic. I have similiar questions: -does a 16 user license mean that only 16 shell accounts may active at any one time? Or does it mean you can only create 16 accounts? EG: can the same person log on more than 16 times with the 16 user license? thanks
