A concurrent user is a person who is accessing a system resource at the same time as one or more other users. Many computer programs support concurrent users. In the case of software, a software license may specifically limit the number of concurrent users a program will support; for example, teleconferencing software might support up to 20 concurrent users at any given time. Software companies use this as a way of providing multiuser functionality while still controlling how many people use their programs.
Concurrent users can view items like files simultaneously across a network, and they can also access software programs in similar ways. This allows offices to do things like buying one copy of a software program with attached concurrent user licenses so that everyone in the office can use the software. This is much cheaper than equipping each computer with a separately licensed version of the software and paying for each computer every time updates are released.
When people purchase software with concurrent user options, they are provided with information about how many concurrent users the software will support. Some companies require each user to be registered, while others allow a set number of unidentified users. If users are registered, the software may allow people to deregister people or devices and reregister different people and devices. This allows for flexibility in using the software without violating the terms of the software license.
Definition of: concurrent use licenseA software license that is based on the number of simultaneous users accessing the program. It typically deals with software running in the server where users connect via the network. For example, in a five-user concurrent use license, after five users are logged on to the program, the sixth user is prohibited. When any one of the first five log out, the next person can log in. Concurrent licensing can be managed by the application itself or via independent software metering tools. See software metering. Contrast with per seat license.

×In computer science, the number of concurrent users for a resource in a location, with the location being a computing network or a single computer, refers to the total number of people simultaneously accessing or using the resource. The resource can, for example, be a computer program, a file, or the computer as a whole.[1]
Concurrent Computing
Keeping track of concurrent users is important in several cases. First, some operating system models such as time-sharing operating systems allow several users to access a resource on the computer at the same time. As system performance may degrade due to the complexity of processing multiple jobs from multiple users at the same time, the capacity of such a system may be measured in terms of maximum concurrent users.[2][3]
Second, commercial software vendors often license a software product by means of a concurrent users restriction. This allows a fixed number of users access to the product at a given time, and contrasts with an unlimited user license. For example: Company X buys software and pays for 20 concurrent users. However, there are 100 logins created at implementation. Only 20 of those 100 can be in the system at the same time.[1][4]
Concurrent user licensing allows firms to purchase computer systems and software at a lower cost because the maximum number of concurrent users expected to use the system or software at any given time (those users all logged in together) is only a portion of the total system users employed at a company. The concurrent licenses are global and shared by anyone who needs to use the system. This contrasts with 'named-seats' licensing, in which one license must be purchased for each and every individual user, whether they are using the system or not.[5][6]
If a company employs 400 system users in which 275 work during the day and 125 work at night, then they can opt to purchase only 275 concurrent user licenses since there will never be more than 275 users on the system during a normal work day. The night workers share 125 of the day users' licenses to use the system. For named-seat licenses, this same company would have to purchase 400 individual licenses, one for each user, and licenses would not be globally shared. The available options for licensing are entirely at the discretion of the vendor selling the product.
“We also have a beautiful ensemble choice of music composers – Jeet Ganguly, Raaj Aasho, Tony Kakkar and Toshi Sharib. Hume tumse pyar kitna. The lyrics are penned by Shabbir Ahmed,” added Karanvir. This is his first Hindi film under his production company — Bora Bora Entertainment. It is made in association with T-Series. The film, directed by Lalit Mohan, also features Priya Banerjee, Samir Kochar and Mahesh Balraj.
