Is there difference between how single and multi user licenses are treated ?
On my own machine were I have a single license I can open as many visual studio instance as I require and Visual Assist works fine.
But at work were have a multi user license it seems that rather than each machine being treats as a node, that each instance of Visual studio on a machine is counted as using one of the license slots, so if I had 3 Visual studio sessions running I would be using 3 license slots ?
Is this the expect behavior of multiple licenses ? as other software I have that use multiple license treats the machine as a single node that can run multiple instances but only consume one license
Thanks

uhm were not seeing that, we are seeing multiple instance seemingly counted seperately
I have one instance open with VAX running OK, if I start another VS instance then VAX says it cannot get a license as they are all being used and disables itself in the new VS instance
when this happens, if you close the first IDE and re-open it what happens? if VA is disabled then this would suggest more PC's than expected are using VA.
are you using VMWare, or some other form of machine emulation? this might cause one machine to appear to be more than one machine on the network.
