RE: Counting Users

Peter,

It just keeps getting better, doesn't it. The last time I looked at the
licensing API's was because I wanted to take a look at using user functions
for security. What I found is that I had to register the application and I
wasn't sure I wanted to tackle that. I couldn't figure out the product
registration API and didn't want to take a chance in that area on screwing
something up. It was a long time ago, but I seem to remember somehting about
a product id number being required and me not being able to create one.

But even if I could get that working, that means I would have to change our
installation process, maintenance process, and who knows what else. It seems
like maybe I would be expanding the scope of the project. Will the licensing
API's allow me to count multiple sessions on a single terminal as one and
multiple sessions on multiple terminals as more than one?
