From the Digital UNIX SPD: LMF Product Name: OSF-BASE This license grants the right to noninteractive use of the file, ap- plication, batch, print, and compute services of the Digital UNIX Op- erating System on a single processor. This license also authorizes up to two concurrent interactive users of the system (see Interactive User below). The two interactive users authorized as part of the Operating System Base License are additive with Interactive User License quantities, but may not be separated from the Operating System Base License. In addition to the two interactive users, login as root is also au- thorized for system management purposes only. If a Digital UNIX Base License is not registered and activated using the LMF, then login by root only is permitted for system management purposes. The Operating System Base License is a prerequisite for Interactive User Licenses, Unlimited Interactive User Licenses, and SMP Extensions to Base Licenses. What makes you think that you can't have two users?
