What is the difference between named users and concurrent users?

[#1]

Our licensing indicates we have total licensing for 64 named users and 36 concurrent users.

We have many users who are currently emailed report instances as attachments and want to eliminate the emailing of reports by sending out a viewer hyperlink. We have many more than 100 users who will be sent a link and want to be sure that users who recieve a link will be able to use it to view reports.

I'm trying to understand how the named & concurrent user licensing limits the number of user who can use viewer hyperlinks and / or login to the system.

Thanks Richard and Thanks Tim,

Is there anyway to force sessions to close or timeout if a user has been logged in and "forgot" for some period of time?

My understanding is that cpu licensing will be standard in the future and we are discussing with our rep.

Thanks again...

there are session timeout settings in the web.xml (search for timeout or search the forums for more specific instructions).

I''ve heard that they don't work as well in 3.x and thus the reason for going to CPU license in the future.

Regards,

Tim
