I see.  There is a distinction between the EM Library and the Enterprise 
Console.  You can use EM Library to update the CID without violating the 
10 connection rule as long as the CID is not on a workstation.  It's the 
Console application that you shouldn't run from a workstation.  I 
haven't ever used that part anyway, as the setup seemed too 
complicated.  Thanks for that link.  I need to start thinking about this 
too.
