Definition
EULA: "User means an identifier (individual's name or generic term such as "purchasing officer") that is listed as a user in the Software's database. Any User that is defined by a generic term may only be used by a single individual." Users of the licensee and its Affiliates are counted in aggregate.
Counting rules
Every user account in the PaperCut user list counts, whether created by directory sync (which adds but does not remove users) or by on-demand creation at print time. Built-in Windows system users can be placed on an Ignored User list. Exceeding the limit triggers a 40-day warning, then admin lock-down; printing continues.
Floors / minimums
Free licence up to 5 users (PaperCut NG only). Commercial list from 25 users; Education/Government list from 500 users; Professional client billing from 25 users (0-25 band).
