To determine the amount of NUSERS, follow these steps:

1. Average Connections per Device:
- If not using device licensing: 1
- If using device licensing: typically 2 or 3 (maximum 10).

2. Average Number of Phantoms:
- If using phantoms: provide a specific number.
- If not: suggested value is 20.

3. Total number of Database Sessions (NUSERS):
((Average # of connections per device * # of devices) + Average # of phantoms) * 1.25

The 1.25 is to multiply the value by 25% to accommodate for heavy loads and possible small increases in licenses. If a large increase in users is done, then this formula should be reevaluated.
