licensing

I am a newbie at licensing. How does this work. Is there a physical limitation which only allows the licensed number of users or is this a good faith and honesty issue? For example is someone only has a developers license on Oracle for 5 users, what happens if ten users attempt to use the program? Will it work or forbid it? Is this pretty much the same for other software as well i.e. Microsoft. Received on Wed Jul 21 1999 - 09:50:33 CDT
