Assuming this means you have 150 staff in France accessing a Perforce system and 100 users in the USA, you MUST HAVE 250 licenses.
251 ;) 150 in France and 100 in the USA, plus the license that's consumed by the remote depot use.
But you don't have to pay for that one. ... No. EXACTLY 250 licenses are needed - Perforce licenses people not servers (legally). You can get a free server key from perforce to allow the two servers to each support all 250 users. You do not need to buy any more that 250 licenses.
I should have known ;) Do I get free licenses for e.g. a web gateway or a reporting cron job, that are also not linked to any person?
Depending on how work is divided between the French and American teams, I can see clear advantages to using a remote depot.
I can't. The restrictions (no metadata, etc.) are way too great.
Perforce may be better than e.g. cvs when the server is far away, but a close p4d is better again ;) If the work is divided such that both teams mostly can use local depots, then e.g. p4pr will mostly be fast.
