+ | Please note that user license categories are still subject to the concurrent user limit (set by the number of licenses you have purchased), they do not override it. So, if you have 10 concurrent user licenses on your server and you have one or more user license categories with a total maximum number of logged in users set at 20, only 10 users will still be able to log in to your server at any one time. This functionality is not a free way to get yourself extra mSupply licenses, rather it's a way of helping you manage access to the licenses you have purchased! | ||
