Article #25297: Concurrent User Licensing Model

Problem:
How is InterBase Licensed?

Solution:
The information in this article applies to:
* InterBase 4.2.x
* InterBase 5.x

The licensing for InterBase is based upon the maximum number of users 
connected to the server at any point in time.  The industry refers to this as 
"concurrent user" licensing.  The maximum number of users that may access 
a server is determined by the number of Simultaneous Access Licenses 
possessed by the customer and assigned to a server.

With concurrent user licensing, customers must ensure they have enough 
Simultaneous Access Licenses installed on their server sufficient to
handle the maximum number of clients connected to the server at any one time.
