Webspeed Licensing

Many of you may have read on the PEG about Webspeed licensing being seriously messed up. From what I could find out, if you are currently on a concurrent user license, you will still be able to use that model for Webspeed. New customers can have the problem - where basically Progress wants named users for every possible user that could hit your webspeed app. Even though you could get 500,000 different people hitting your app but only 100 at a time, they still want you to buy 500,000 licenses.

Yes, it's messed up. I plan on asking more about this when I'm back there in January and will let you know what I find.
