Imagine the following: Company A has three phones, but only one phone line. When Mr. Smith makes a call, his two colleagues Mr. Jones and Mr. Johnson cannot make any outgoing phone calls or receive any incoming ones. They receive a busy sign. Only after Mr. Smith hangs up will the line be open again.</p><p>The <strong>Business</strong> and the <strong>Premium license</strong> each feature one channel i.e. a concurrent session. A <strong>Corporate license</strong> features three channels i.e. three concurrent sessions from three different computers. Opening an additional session is only possible as soon as another session has been closed.</p><p>With a <strong>Premium</strong> or <strong>Corporate license,</strong> you have the ability to activate your license on an unlimited number of computers and also expand them by any number of additional channels.
