Hello all.
I need pointers/suggestions/hints on what's the best way to monitor
the number of users using an application over an AppleShare fileserver.
Basically, there are several programs of which we own several copies,
and would like to make that number of copies available on the server.
[I know, ideally ANYONE could use any of them at any time, but there are
too many lawyers in our society to permit that :) ]
I'd of course prefer a free/shareware solution, but if there are any
commercial solutions we could possibly use those or implement something
similar ourselves. Any ideas are appreciated.

They only use floppies as boot disks and this is where I put the MacUser program. The MacUser data file is on the Server in a share folder (AppleShare) and is invisible. Parameters are set so that only application time is recorded and not Finder time. The data is pulled into Excel for evaluation, and using simple sorts I can calculate use by application as well as user.
