    • Does 2 concurrent mean two accounts?


    • What does concurrency limit mean


    No, concurrent explanation:

    If the number of concurrent purchases is 10, it is as if the 

    server has only 10 interfaces. If 10 interfaces are occupied at the same time, other people will not be able to connect to the server. At this time, if other people want to connect to

    the report server to view reports, one of the previous 10 

    people must log out of this interface.

    Note: The 10 people here are 10 different IPs, that is, the 

    concurrent data means that there are several IPs accessing 

    the report system at the same time. For details, please refer to: Principles of registration concurrency

    • How long is the trial version

    • Trial duration of FineReport

    When it is not registered, there is no time limit for the
