No user restrictions, but it is a single node installation. No license
manager either. You use the genver program and call up RSI technical
support to get a number of the day. After this it will work for 180
days, and I guess you can call tech support again after this time is
up to get another 180 days. Supposedly this problem will be gone in 5.0.

Some caveats to IDL for Linux:
When I reboot my clock does not get set correctly, and unless I reset
the clock before running IDL, it balks when I try to start it. Also,
CALL_EXTERNAL does not work for the Linux version.

FWIW- I have been having good success the last few weeks running IDL
4.0.1 on my Linux box with RedHat4.0 and kernel 2.0.27.

Good luck.
