	The software was also known by its versioned name, tied to the hardware version on which it ran, such as '''HP 2000C Time-Shared BASIC''' and the operating system came in different varieties — 2000A, 2000B, 2000C, High-Speed 2000C, 2000E, 2000F, and 2000/Access.

Depending on the hardware configuration, the system supports up to 16 or up to 32 simultaneous remote users.

Privileged accounts started with the letter "A" and had some additional command and program storage capabilities, such as the ability to use the Storage Drum, or to prevent a program from being listed ( Protected ). The [[superuser]] account is A000. This scheme allows up to 24,999 user accounts: The accounts ending in 00 were group accounts, and the Z999 account held the login program.
