The limited user license key was introduced in January 2022:
This type of key restricts users as follows:

- Period = the duration of the purchased License, the most typical terms being 3 months, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, and perpetual
When using this type of license key, the number of users that are authorized to use CAST Imaging is always specified in the key:
This is also shown in the UI:
