Before worrying about multiple launches of an app off a file server, you might want to check the software license. Unless otherwise stated or agreed to, as in a site license, each user should have a personal copy. Some Mac apps specifically permit multi-launch - I think PageMaker does (assuming you've licensed all users). Many Mac apps write back to themselves to save setting and such, thus having multiple users would be a disaster. I'd check with each vendor for their app's physical and legal constraints. -R
