On the system(s) I inherited 2 years ago, all compiles are runed
of a specific batch queue using the "named user" of the licenses.
All licens are 1 single "name user". This worked fine even back
in the hay-days when this site had 5-6 developers. Yes, the
compiles are serialized but that is usualy not a problem.
A developer spend most of his time in the editor, right ? :-)

B.t.w, I do not think those "named user" licenses are available
today, are they ?
