00805: How the BLM determines whether to check out a second license.

Title:

How the BLM determines whether to check out a second license.

Description:

We know that every time a pro5/vpro5 session is invoked, the basis.lic is scanned and a license is then dispensed by the BLM to the client. 
Now, once the same workstation opens a second, third, and more sessions, then 3 areas are looked at by the BLM to determine whether or not another license will be checked out or not, for that client. 
The 3 areas are: 
username, 
IP address, and 
display, i.e. tty.
USER / HOST / DISPLAY
If any one of these is different, then another license would be checked out for that client. 
For example, if you had a ‘system’ user running VPRO/5, there would be one license checked out. On the same workstation, if ‘joeuser’ invoked a VPRO/5 session, then this would require a second license. Even though the display and IP address are the same, the user changed from system to joeuser.
