Re: excess licences

Am I correct to read that as meaning they made 400,000 copies but only 597+38 users actually used it ?

It all depends on how they define "unique licensed users".

Is that unique login names and they do something like have any Chief Petty Officer use the "E-7" account?

Or did they check and found the program was never used by more than 635 users at the same time so they were only missing 597 floating licenses?

400k copies does seem a bit excessive for just 635 users.
