- And, I believe, as a convenience you can set up another requester
- immediately and put in the order for the license card simultaneously.
- There is no software-imposed limit on the number of clients; this is
- licensing on the honor system. (Please don't abuse it.)
-
- I believe there is also a tiered pricing strategy at several plateaus;
- you should be able to purchase LS 3.0 with 50 client licenses for less
- than the cost of LS 3.0 with 50 separate, individually purchased
- client licenses, for example.
-
- Note also that LS 3.0 (either version, I believe) supports up to about
- 1000 users (up to 250 per network card in the server; up to four
- network cards in the server).
