What operating system and version are you running?
Debian Linux “testing” (kernel 2.4.26).

– Was Eclipse freshly installed for MyEclipse?
I’ve been running Eclipse 3.0.0 and MyEclispe 3.8.0 for several months.

– If not, was it upgraded to its current version using the update manager?
I believe so…it’s been a while. If the update mgr was available, I’d have used it.

– Are any other external plugins installed?
Not sure how you define “external” — various add-on eclipse.org plugins (GEF, SDO, et al.); also Modelistic JME.

– How many plugins in the <eclipse>/plugins directory are like org.eclipse.pde.*
I have 7: build_3.0.0, core_3.0.0, doc.user_3.0.0, junit.runtime_3.0.0, runtime_3.0.0, source_3.0.0, ui_3.0.0

What MyEclipse version are you using? (Help > About Eclipse Platform > Features)
Version 3.8.0

What JDK version are you using to run Eclipse? (java -version)
j2sdk1.4.2_05

What JDK version are you using to launch your application server?
jdk1.3.1_12

What steps did you take that resulted in the issue?
Opened a project while another project was opened, and while another developer on my subnet also had two open.

What application server are you using?
WebLogic 5.1

I got the “licenses exceeded” dialog as described in the post entitled “All IPs SAME for Subscription Key [Closed]” (http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-4943.html) when only two developers (at different IPs) were accessing myeclipse, but three IP entries in the “current users” list in the dialog: two were for the same IP address (the other developer). The interesting thing is that he said he had two eclipse projects open at the same time — in other words, it would seem that your license-tracking logic counts each project as a separate user. And the dialog appeared when I tried to open a second project in my eclipse session (bringing the total used-license-count to 4, where our limit is apparently 3).

Maybe this is intentional, but unless you specifically intend that one license-user be occupied for each (user x open project) pair (which sounds unreasonable to me), it sounds like you have a license-tracking bug to me.

The license logic works on a “per workspace” count, not a “per project” count. In 3.8.3 we’ve updated the logic a bit so I’d suggest you upgrade to the latest version as this will likely resolve the issue.
