How about an organization which has a purchased license for 8.1.6 and would
like to use 8.1.7? Can I just download 8.1.7 (well, I know I can download
it) and use it? How many users can log in to the downloaded version? How
do you apply licenses to it if you install it an do find out you need
additional users?
Thanks.
