How many users can surf the internet with a pix 501 PIX-501-UL-BUN-K9 ?

[sguerrero]

I have this doubt: With model PIX-501-50-BUN-K9 PIX 501-50 3DES/AES Bundle (Chassis, SW, 50 Users, 3DES/AES) up to 50 users can surf at the same time. What happens with model PIX-501-UL-BUN-K9 PIX 501-UL Bundle (Chassis, SW, Unlimited Users, 3DES/AES)

, how many users or sessions are available in this model?

Thanks for your answer.
