20010302: Shared Program License Management Update

March/2001
Tech Note #2

The October/2000 Tech Note #12 "Restricting the Number of Users on a Shared Program" included some helpful tips from Neil B on using KiXtart to restrict user access to network-shared applications for the purpose of complying with licensing requirements. Since then, Neil has done considerable work on this issue. In particular, he has addressed the need for a single standard script that can be used for all shared applications as well as a solution for the problem of shared EXE files which are inordinately large. You can download a copy of Neil's latest script as well as the complete documentation from the shop ftp site.
