I have been tasked with providing some form of network license control for a Java application. The app would be stored on a network drive and run from a client machine. The basic idea is that it will be able to work out how many times it is being run concurrently and prevent the N+1th user from running the software where N is the number of concurrent licenses the customer has purchased. Is this possible somehow with a Java application? I was thinking of maybe incrementing a number stored in a file every time the app is run and then decrementing it again when the app exits. I also thought of storing a time when each app invocation started so I could "time-out" users in the cases where the app may crash. Is this a viable solution or is there a better way? -- And loving it, -Qu0ll (Rare, not extinct) _________________________________________________ Qu0llSixFour@gmail.com [Replace the "SixFour" with numbers to email me]
