We're in the process of putting together a PC LAN(Netware 3.11 or 3COM 3+ Open -don't
know which yet, but we're leaning towards Novell), and we're wondering what users out
there in the real world do for licenseing software on their LAN.  For example, I have
40 potential users of Microsoft Project for Windows, but I know there will only be 2 or
3 users at any given time using the product(there are never more than 2 or 3 managers here
at a time, so I know this is the case).  So do I get 40 copies of Project, or do I get
2 or 3 copies and run it through some metering software(I believe Sabre has something
to do this).  Anyways, I'd appreciate any input........thanks.....mcb
