Q. What does 'max_users' mean? Why don't we have more licenses?

Some databases on the NYIT Libraries site allow only a limited number of simultaneous users. If you are told that all of the licenses are in use or that a resource has reached the maximum allowed users, you will need to wait a few minutes and then try the resource again. We are notified whenever users are rejected for this reason. If the problem is chronic, we will try to arrange for the purchase of additional licenses.
