Intel Cluster Studio: How many people can run MPI jobs simultaneously on a cluster with 2 sts floating licence

I know that if i buy a Intel Cluster Studio with a two user floating licence,
only two people would be able to compile their MPI codes simultaneously.

What i want to know is,
1) How many users can execute their MPI jobs simultaneously?
2) If i have codes compiled with Intel C compiler from the same cluster studio, how many people can execute their simultaneously?

Thanks in advance.

There's no application run-time checking against floating license limit, if the applications were previously linked under the limitations set by the license.

Sorry, but I didn't quite understand what you said.
Would any number of users be able to run their MPI binaries simultaneously?


Thanks and Regards

Yes, any number of users (as long as your system has sufficient resources) can run the binaries simultaneously.  The licensing restrictions are on the development end, not the runtime end.
