[p4] Remote Depots

[Paul Goffin]

Yes that's fine.

email support at perforce.com and they'll send you
the form for a "secondary server".

You sign the form, fax it back to them and they
usually send you an additional license key within
an hour or so.

Now I'm starting to get interested. We have the following situation:

- One "common" Perforce server for "mainstream" developement.
- The need for one additional Perforce server, dedicated to another
(private) network segment (VMS clients).
- The need for some of the users licensed on the common server to use the
additional server.

So, according to your statement Perforce should grant me an additional
license file to the "Private" server. That is, if we'll only allow the same
users that are licensed on the common server to access that one (which is
what I'd intended to do).

Does this work in practice? Personally, I consider myself an honest person -
but I don't know if everyone else in the world are ...
