The whole WAS tool is 'Free' there are no restrictions regarding number of Users or Client boxes it can be installed on. The limiting factor is the capacity of the Client box(es) (as with all of the other tools). If you have dismissed this tool in the past on the basis of number of users supported, I would take another look. I do not currently use it as it does not support 'url rewriting', but I have used it in the past and I am certain I will use it again.

I recommend you check out WebPartner's web-based Stress Testing tool. We use our hardware to apply the load. So you don't need to configure and maintain additional hardware. Deploys rapidly. Easy to use. http://www.webpartner.com/st_main.html
Good luck with your project!
