May I add a little about Progress licensing policies.
From the server point of view, you need a separate Progress license for each
machine on which you install Progress. Thus three machines with progress
installed requires 3 licenses. However, One install of Progress on one
machine can support multiple databases. Thus, one machine with progress
installed supporting three databases requires one license. From the cost
point of view there is probably not much to choose between the two since
progress licensing is based on user count, but the one machine approach,
assuming you have the resources to support the total number of users, is
administratively simpler to deal with.
Please note: I am talking strictly about Progress. You will need to talk to
Epicor about the Vantage implications of three databases.
