  That's really a wrong description.  Simultaneous-Use is implemented on
FreeRADIUS, not OpenVPN.

  Which shows one accounting packet.  i.e. it's useless for telling the
difference between the working and non-working systems.

  Run the server in debugging mode, and look at the packets.  ALL OF
THEM.  Look at the authentication and accounting packets for a working
session, and then compare them to the authentication and accounting
packets for a non-working session.

  The differences will be why one works and the other doesn't.
