14. How many users an�cipated?

It varies on loca�on but the average it 5

15. Are all users authorized for all func�ons?

16. How does AF define so�ware life�me? For IIDS, “so�ware life�me” is based on current/ac�ve licensing. As long as so�ware is licensed, support is included.

So�ware needs to offer a life�me warranty for licensing. If we purchase and have issued 6 months or a year down the road, we should be able to call the contractor for help or assistance with no addi�onal costs.
