Tom,

  The MPE/iX User count does not include "jobs" or the console port, so you
should be able to get eight "sessions" logged onto the system (nine if you
include the console).  You can check this by issuing a
SHOWVAR HPUSERCOUNT and seeing what it is set to.  You can get it
up to the value shown in SHOWVAR HPUSERLIMIT (HPUSERLIMIT will
be -1 for an unlimited user license).
If you can't log on another session when the HPUSERCOUNT is less than
the HPUSERLIMIT (assuming a non-unlimited license), then there is some
other issue at play.
