- You are basically right. What you have is two "work groups". One has a total
- of 30 licenses (20 Maker and 10 Viewer), and the other has 10 Viewer licenses.
- The whole idea of work groups is to let you isolate one group's licenses from
- the others. (See the discussion of Work Groups in the "Setting up floating
- licenses" chapter of _Installing_FrameMaker_.)
-
- It sounds like you really want one work group with all 40 licenses available
- to everyone. The correct way to do this would be to buy the 40 licenses from
- Frame and NONE from Cadence. This would require Cadence to have a licensing
- scheme that allowes existing Frame Licensees to use their existing licenses.
-
- That is what you should explore. And if Cadence won't do such a thing, then
- in your words, "THIS SUCKS."
