A software license based on the number of users who have access to the software. For example, a 100-user license based on users means that up to 100 specifically named users have access to the program. Per seat licensing is administered by providing user-level security to the directory containing the program. In contrast to concurrent use license a software license that is based on the number of simultaneous users accessing the program. It typically deals with software running in the server where users connect via the network. For example, in a five-user concurrent use license, after five users are logged on to the program, the sixth user is prohibited. When any one of the first five log off, the next person can log on. Concurrent licensing can be managed by the application itself or via independent software metering tools.
