Re: User based pricing

[Pat Barber <mboceanside@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

IBM is also not clear on this subject. I just went through a fairly long 
discussion with
the support folks on this very subject. The final statement in the 
conversation was
something like this: "So... A user is anybody who has a profile ??? ...

IBM responds...."Yes".

I can tell you my customer with a 525 starting getting these messages on 
day one.
He has "around" 30 users, we bought 30 users. When I loaded the profiles, I
ended up with around 55 profiles including 20 who no longer worked for the
company and had been disabled.

Until I deleted those folks, my "user" count in the wrklicinf showed 50 
users.

It also takes a few minutes for the user count to readjust.

Multiple sessions by same person do not "appear" to change the count.

Your mileage could vary....
