Number of viewers of SDE data ?

[TomSedlacek]

I have recently set up an SDE geodatabase and populated it with the data from my file geodatabase.  Everything seems fine, but it appears as if I can only have 3 users viewing the data at one time?  I'm as new as can be to SDE, but I assumed that 3 could be editing versioned data while many could be viewing via ArcGIS Desktop.  I suspect it may be a permissions setting or something along those lines, but you all know better than I.

Any help will be appreciated

Which version of ArcSDE did you license?  "Personal ArcSDE" and "Workgroup ArcSDE"
have concurrent user limits, while Enterprise ArcSDE does not (well, it does, but it's
database resource configuration which is the determining factor -- once you're into
hundreds of users, it doesn't really seem like a limit).

It's ArcSDE Personal and ArcGIS Server Standard Workgroup.

That product is documented as being limited to 3 seats (see the table two pages
down under "How is ArcSDE technology included in ArcGIS?").
