If the APP is licensed as per server, it would be based on the number of =
servers where it is installed. If it is licensed per user, it would be =
by the number of users that access the APP. Some software is licensed =
per plant, then it would be according to the number of physical =
locations. I think someone needs to read their particular EULA. =20
Sorry that this was not that much help.

Subject: [THIN] Application licensing when using Citrix
Hi all!
A customer of mine is in negotiation with a supplier (SUP) of software
regarding the licensing structure. The customer is using Citrix =
Metaframe as
a portal for the application (APP). The users use the WAN to access APP =
from
two fysical locations (A and B). The citrix server is located at A, =
where
the majority of APP users are (although not all are using APP through
citrix). The other users access APP from B.
SUP is now claiming that the customer is using APP in two sites (A and =
B)
and the customer has to pay more in licensing fees. The customer is =
claiming
that all access to APP is from A and that the fysical location of the
keyboard is irrelevant.
Since this is licensing stuff and therefore vague as h*ll... can anyone =
give
me examples of other software suppliers that have licensing schemes =
similar
to this case and tell me how they handle Citrix? Do they count the =
number of
sites by where the user is (in my case, 2 sites) or by where the =
computer is
(in my case, 1 site)?
