Vendor portal fails to offer unlimited users as confirmed by the support team

Question

I purchased Vendor Portal add-on for TBM 6 (Team version with 3 + 1 additional users) and received the support team's confirmation that it offer unlimited vendor user accounts. However, regardless of account/user types (Admin, PM-based, Sale Manager, Vendor Manager accounts, Vendor account, etc.), only a maximum of 4 accounts/users can log in to TBM (while the vendor role accounts should be unlimited). Could you please help me out with this?

Well, probably I found a bug. When maximum allowed users already logged in, and vendor logs in, indeed it shows this error. I mean, this happens only when maximum number of users already logged in. 
 You can check it by logging out one of four users, then log in as vendor, then login back as manager. System will allow to let it and won't show this error. 
 We'll release small update today 6.1.68 fixing this bug. Thank you for pointing out!

Ok, we'll include this in the next update. Also, maybe as an option we can create custom report for this? 
 Look at the attached example. You can create a new QuickReport, import this layout, then open Vendor role, and add a new permission so vendors can use it from the portal: 
 
 Then it becomes available on the portal: 
 
 The open it and export: 
 And you get nice PDF:
