No, it is based on "license units". We told them we were using PCs and
Linux, which use 6 "license units" per active seat. Thus, we got 300 units.
"lmstat -a" showed that this was the case, we actually could have 50
simultaneous users. In fact we have converted some of our licenses to
"dongles" so we could travel with PCs, so we have somewhat fewer than 300
license units on the server now.
