The VA has just completed a license audit that determined the amount of concurrent licenses that were needed to ensure that the appropriate amount were being purchased while being cost effective. The average was 3.5 concurrent licenses needed, thus four will be purchased to meet need. These licenses are proprietary and no other licenses can offer the functionality necessary.
