This is a pretty serious problem for us in buying this machine. I really do need at least a sixteen user license. For the life of me I can't understand why larger licenses are available for the 300's than are for the 700's. Hopefully someone at HP is listening and will soon rectify this over sight. >-- Michael Coulter coulter@hpclisp.cup.hp.com Gordon I was offered, and ordered, a multi-user extension to the 2-user licence on a 720. The HP part number is 82359A, and is stated to be a 32-user licence. My salesman may have made a typing error,however; I distinctly remember him mentioning a 16-user licence in our first conversation. I will not know for certain until delivery is made some time in July, but all the evidence points to the availability of at least 16-user licences.
