David, my legal department says there must be some sort of control to prevent exceeding the license limit. For example, if the Winframe server will allow 10 concurrent users but a third party software product is only licensed for 5 users, then there must be a mechanism to prevent more than 5 users. I guess the safe path is to license the apps for the same number of users as Winframe provided the software provider buys into the concurrent license scenario. But as someone else said, the major benefit of Winframe is not in limiting the purchase of software licenses. If MSFT thought this was a probable outcome, CTXS would run into a brick wall. I still hold to my claim that Office productivity tools belong directly on the desktop and the best application for Winframe is distributing access to shared apps such as order and inventory systems.
