Let's say it's set to "Per Server" and "Number of Concurrent Connections" is 5.

If it's a file server, does that mean only 5 users at a time can access their files? After 5 users are connected will it give an error or something?

Sorry, maybe this is a dumb question but I don't understand the differences in the licensing and what it all means.

Per Server Licensing Under the per server licensing approach, you must purchase a license for each user who connects to a specific server. If a maximum of 50 users bill log on to Server A, 50 client licenses must be allocated to that server. If 25 users will log on to Server B, 25 licenses must be allocated to B, for a total of 75 licenses.

Per Seat Licensing If you choose per seat licensing, you must purchase a license for each computer on the network. If you purchase 100 licenses allocated on a per-seat basis, 100 users can access an unlimited number of servers. Per seat licensing tends to be the more economical approach if users routinely access multiple servers. With per seat licensing, licenses are installed "from the top down."

I have Device CALS, is this the same as per seat/computer?
