An Enduser certificate , or EUC , is a document used in international transfers, including sales and arms provided as aid, of weapons and ammunition to certify that the buyer is the final recipient of the materials, and is not planning on transferring the materials to another party. EUCs are required by many governments to restrict the flow of the materials to undesired destinations, such as embargo ed states or rebel groups, governments with bad human rights records or states which are considered a threat by the original supplier of the arms. There are several problems with EUCs as a means to prevent undesirable arms exports. EUCs can be forged or falsified they can also be obtained from corrupt officials. Therefore there is a need for EUCs that are difficult to forge. ref cite web url http books.sipri.org files insight SIPRIInsight1003.pdf title EndUser Certificates Improving standards to prevent diversion accessdate 2010 09 05 ref Another problem is that an EUC does not guarantee that the arms recipient will actually live up to its promise not to re transfer the weapons received. EUCs which are not backed up by proper end use monitoring are weak.

In computerscience , the number of concurrent users for a resource in a location, with the location being a computing computer network network or a single computer, refers to the total number of person people using the resource within predefined period of time. The resource can, for example, be a computer program , a Computer file file , or the computer as a whole. Citation needed date February 2007 A computer operating system that allows several users to access a resource on the computer at the same time is a multiuser computer multitasking multitasking operating system, historically called a time sharing operating system. The capacity of a system can also be measured in terms of maximum concurrent users, at which point system performance begins to degrade noticeably. Citation needed date February 2007 Commercial vendors often Software licensing license a software product by means of a concurrent users restriction. This allows a fixed number of users access to the product at a given time, and is in contrast with an unlimited user license. ref http www.eweek.com article2 0,1895,1870137,00.asp Study shows enterprises favor concurrent user software licenses , www.eweek.com, 12 October 2005 accessed 20 January 2007 ref Concurrent user licensing allows firms to purchase computer systems and software at a lower cost because the maximum number of concurrent users expected to use the system or software at any given time those users all logged in together is only a portion of the total ... for each and every individual user whether they are using the system or not.
