I was referring to Digital.

If you purchase a Sun box, you get SunOS with an unlimited number of users.
If you purchase a DEC box, you get ULTRIX with a two user license. If you
want more than two users/windows at a time, you have to pay to upgrade
to 4, 8, and so forth.

In the VMS world, I've yet to install a software product on our cluster
which users LMF  other than Digital's products.
