I agree AAA is a terrific tool for extending integration with Alchemy.  I highly recommend using it.  There is one feature in AAA that I would like some feedback on:

AAA uses an administrator license.  

This seems to be a bit of a hot topic from some of the partners that I have spoken to recently.  I know that a lot of the time only one administrator license is bought by the customer.  If any integration is to be done with AAA at least two administrator licenses would be required as I see it (one for the administrator client and the other for AAA).  

Is there interest to have AAA ingest an index license instead of the administrator license?  Any feedback would be great!

Thanks,
Gord

Being the partner Gord has spoken to recently, I thought I'd add my 2 cents.  It would definitely be a benefit to our clients to be able to customize AAA to consume Index station instead of Administrator.  

I agree.  Most our our customer's only purchase one Admin license.  My major concern, is since the AAA uses an admin license, is that one admin for every connection or one for all connections?  If is the latter, then we should be ok but using an index license would make it much more feasible.  Or if there was a choice in the case of Alchemy Gold vs. Alchemy Server.

Because AAA was originally spec'd to have Administrative Build fuctionality it had to consume an Admin license.  You will only require one Admin license for AAA since it uses one for all connections.  Basically, the service connects once to Alchemy and maintains that connection for all requests.
