 ==== Exceeded concurrency ====
+PMA.core has [[https://www.pathomation.com/lic|a licensing model based on concurrency]].
+It is possible therefore that, while your software license hasn't expired yet, the number of concurrent seats is exceeded.
+If this happens frequently, you should consider purchasing additional roaming seats.
+After that, you can [[license expiration|follow these steps]] to upgrade your license.
+=== Business continuity ===
+An administrator can still log into PMA.core even if concurrent users limit is exceeded. Two common tasks that you may still want to do as an administrator once the number of maximum concurrent users is exceeded are:
+  * Remove an [[active_sessions|active session]] from the pool so that roaming licenses become available to others (e.g. when users don't log out properly)
+  * [[license_setup|Update the license key]] as provided by Pathomation after purchasing additional concurrent licenses
