Here's an interesting question to ponder: If you had one family computer that multiple people could use at the same time, how might that affect software licensing?

Well, most companies that offer interactive multi user simultaneous software, seem to have seat licensing models and they share a common data base with multiple instances of the program running at least on instance per user. At least thats how ever Point of sale system and shared database program like Quickbooks seems to be setup.
At least that has been my experience thus far. Sean
