Session CALs - Can someone clarify how they work?

[#1]

Hello All

Were currently looking at the prospect of moving to Enterprise, from Small Business Edition. And with the, the different types of licence available.

I understand the usage CALs. But want to clarify how session CALs work.

As I understand it, a session CAL (£4900), when configured optimally allows up to 10 anonymous sessions to run on the server. 1 session being a single user using a single document.

When the session ends, the CAL is freed up until another session begins.

A few questions (as ever!):

Are they limited to 10 sessions per session CAL?

How are they configured optimally, are there any pitfalls here?

The price list seems to suggest this is fr infrequent users, is there any limits here regarding the frequency of use?

Are you limited to the number of session CALs that you buy?

Aren't they just like document CALs, only once the session is over the licence goes back in the pot?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry to update such an old topic but I'm not sure at all about what you are saying Karl.

You mean that somebody opening a Document with a Session CAL can open another Document with the same Session CAL ?

I don't think so, for me with version 10, 11 or 12, a Session CAL is 1 user with 1 document.  

The same user on several documents means several Session CAL
