I recall in a previous situation Corporate Headquarters (based in the US) bought a license for the US and a separate license for the EMEA office. However, this entitled the EMEA office to support in Redwood Shores, not in the Netherlands. Metaclick didn't exist at that time, and the time difference with Redwood Shores was 9 hours. It took us *two whole years* to resolve this issue. What finally did it, was a direct e-mail to Larry Ellison.
