We have 2 microvax3600 ultrix servers, which has a 2 user limit on
the ultrix license.  we want to increase this user limit.

The "word" from DEC is that "No, we don't sell upgrades for servers. They
are designed to serve files. If you want a multi-user system, buy a
multi-user system"

Has anyone out there done this before?? please e-mail me.

thanks,
susan

This is a licensing issue, among other things.  That is to say if you do 
something to increase the number of users allowed you violate the terms of
your license with Digital and, indirectly, with AT&T.
