- So what is the smallest value to which this can be set? Our default
- around here is 999, which I'm working on changing. But we had to pull a
- guy out of a meeting last week just to give up his license.
-
- BTW, I work in a department of over 70 people. We've been getting by on
- 10 licenses for about a year. We have five full-time users and they have
- reserved licenses (one is mine). The rest of the department shared the
- other five. however, as more and more people are coming up to speed
- using Frame, the demand gets greater. We will probably have to purchase
- a few more licenses soon.
-
- Software licenses: another point in favor of flexible work hours.
- During the day people are banging heads getting licenses, but in the
- evening, 10 licenses sit idle (except for those 999 folks who didn't
- exit when they went home).
