Enterprise Licensing

Enterprise Licensing is an alternative to the regular licensing model offered for ProjectForum.

It offers a per-user licensing model (rather than per-group), and other differences that may make it suitable for consideration, particularly for larger sites, or where users participate in several groups. The exact differences are as follows:
