[Edprof] AP online licenses

That's interesting, Brian. We were told by AP, and my experience has been, 
that licenses are user-specific -- tied to a user's e-mail address: You 
log in with your e-mail address and a password. (And the AP Stylebook 
Online tracks your IP, too. So if you log in from a machine that's 
different from your previous session, AP says: "Oops; we're going to reset 
your password" -- so you must check your e-mail for the new password.)

I'm just wondering how you manage a 50-seat license ... Are there "dummy" 
log-ins? Have you run into complications with IP addresses?

Bill,

We got a 50-seat license, which means that no more than 50 people in the
School can log on at the same time. We thought that should be adequate.

We have the same rule about adhering to Missouri law, so I'm not sure how
they got around that. But the library handled getting the contract, so we
did not have to mess with it.
