Clear understanding of the user license count...?

SOLVED
Posted By

I have a customer (2018 Premium, 100c) complaining about user license count issues, when we recently added a couple seats to deal with the extra connections.  What I have always found to be unclear is the number listed in the various screens / menus, with Sage 100 system consuming licenses by design.

Partner portal shows 14.  Perfect.  This includes the newly added users.

System Configuration (Modules tab) shows "Number of Registered User Licenses" of 16.  I've seen the number inflated before but never understood why this is done (with an official clear explanation).

*info shows "Total User Licenses" of 14.  Now, should this be 16, like the System Configuration number?  Or is it a true number (without any reserved system users included), properly matching the user count the customer is paying for?

The root problem is that Master Console is showing 11 Active Users, with new connections being denied, and I need to know whether there are hidden connections (bypassing the service / Master Console), or whether the system registration is not correct (14 vs 16 in the *info screen).

    They always give you an extra seat in the registration for the interface to CRM or Fixed Assets (my mind is blank what that is called at the moment - the thing that uses the 8880 port).

    If you have advanced or premium they give you an extra user to handle the  server running.

    In older versions if you didn't have the CRM/Fixed asset interface running you could actually use that as a logged in user,  however in more current versions you no longer can.

    So theoretically you should be able to log in 14 concurrent users. 

    If you can only get 11 in you have some ghost users out there.  I don't recall the exact solution, but try searching the Knowledgebase for ghost or phantom users.

    The integration engine is off, and while there are WSP services running, that is the source of the question.  WSP is unable to connect with no available licenses, when there should be a couple free.  I need to know if the recently added 2 users actually made it into the customer system properly.  From what I see, that does not seem to be the case.
