You have actually not been provided sufficient information to determine whether or not this would be an acceptable proposal. Consider, for example, the situation in which General Hospital, a free-standing 100-bed hospital, is acquired by and merged into MegaHealth, Inc., a national chain of 150 hospitals. If the software were licensed on the basis of number of end-users, then this may not be a problem since MegaHealth would have to pay additional license fees to expand the number of end-users. If, however, the software were licensed on an enterprise-wide, unlimited user basis, then BHS just lost out on substantial additional license fees since MegaHealth could expand use throughout its entire enterprise at no additional cost.
