I would like to run an Authorware piece from a server on a LAN much like you
see with other products such as MS Office.

While I know this isn't a problem, I have another issue to deal with.  I want
to limit the number of computers that can run it simultaneously (basically
a "site license").  Does anybody have any experience or advice with this that
they can share with me?

The easiest method I can think of is having a seperate text file that is
examined when a new user logs in or logs off and just increases/decreases by 1
respectively.  If the number reaches the limit, it dissallows additional users
to log on.

The above mentioned idea is a pretty foolish method of such protection but its
the simplest I can think of and get away with (in the sense that it would
probably work).

Also,  I am uncertain how an Authorware piece and a server reacts (as far as
the server resources are concerned) when MANY users are running it at the same
time.

I would appreciate any help on any/some of these matters.

thanks,

evan
