BusinessVision licence - activation - 5 User LAN Pack license

Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded to the latest 2019 BusinessVision from an earlier version.

I understood the 2019 has a built in 5-user license.

I had the 5 user LAN pack with the old version.

When I upgraded, I expected to see 10 user because the standard comes in with 5 users built in + the 5 users lan pack = 10.

Am I wrong on this?

Also, we only have 3 users working in 4 different business databases, meaning at least 4 instances of BusinessVision at the same time for each user (3users x 4dbs).

When we were up to approximately 6 or 7 instances, we were getting the maximum user warning and couldn't initiate more instances.

There are never more than 3 users per database, and we should be good for 5 (or I thought 10).

Is the license pack based on open instances or on how many users logged in?

I'm confused how the license works.

Can someone explain?

Thank you in advance.

Robert
