If your license limit is 2, then at any point in time only 2 Datastage clients (Manager, Director, Designer) may be open. If it keeps giving you inconsitent messages just restart the datastage services or bounce the server.

I'm afraid that's not true. Your limit (in the later versions) is meant to be the number of concurrent users that can connect to the server at any given point in time. There is some checking done on how many connections can be made from a single IP address, but it's hard-coded and not tied to your license count. From what I recall.

There is an excellent discussion in this thread, where Ray 'Jacque Cousteau' Wurlod (as usual) dives deep into the weeds to explain How It Works.

Discussed in there is also a way to check to see what it thinks is going on as there are times the 'checker' can get confused.
