> Allow one image to be used between different user groups, that have different concurrent license counts.
> ---
> Say there is image Timesink that has been created and has
> four concurrent licenses owned by group A.
> Now group B needs to use Timesink and buys two additional
> concurrent licenses.
> Currently it seems that we'd end up with two images of Timesink
> one available to group A with up to 4 concurrent instances and
> the other available to group B with up to 2 concurrent instances.
> It would be nice if the scheduler could understand that really
> they are the same image - so that if a copy of the image were
> loaded and someone from either group A or B made a reservation
> they could use the image and the scheduler would deduct
> the available number of concurrent uses from the correct pool.
> In practice Group B would need to know that Timesink image
> exists. VCL would need to provide a way for metadata to have
> more granular license information.
