See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge For Series 700/800 machines running HP-UX 10.20 or 11.00, this is no longer an issue, since HP is giving away unlimited user licenses! Simply go to <http://software.hp.com/> and search for "unlimited license". Then, download the UnlimUserLic bundle, and install it. No more 2-user limit! An unlimited license is included with 11.11 and later. For earlier HP-UX releases, there are several fundamental things to remember about HP-UX licensing: o Display console counts as one user o Each ASCII terminal counts as a user, regardless of how it is connected o The LAN connection counts as one user ASCII Terminals =============== The simple rule to remember is any ASCII terminal that is logged in counts as a user. ASCII terminal connections can come in several different forms: o Direct-connected via a serial terminal multiplexer o Connected via Data Terminal Concentrators (DTCs) or via terminal servers o Personal Computers (PCs) acting in terminal emulation mode, whether connected via serial line or via Local Area Network (LAN) X-terminals and workstations ============================ When a customer buys an X-terminal or workstation from HP or from another vendor, HP acknowledges that the customer has also bought a single UNIX license-to-use. Therefore, the customer has the right to an unlimited number of logins and terminal windows _over_the_LAN_ to a Series 700 or Series 800 from either X-terminals or workstations. These logins can be via X terminal windows (_hpterm_ and _xterm_), _telnet_, _rlogin_, or other means. PC's that use X-terminal emulation software such as XView each count the same as an X terminal. This is because the PC essentially becomes an X-terminal when it is running the X server software. Therefore, when a PC is running an X-terminal emulator, the PC has the right to an unlimited number of logins to an HP-UX system. To purchase license upgrades for HP-UX 10.10 and earlier, go to <http://software.hp.com/> and search for "operating license upgrade". You'll be provided with a link to a reseller from which you can purchase upgrades.
