[DUG] Licencing schemes

[John Bird]

Terminal Server:

Allied question, for tracking users (not necessarily for licencing, more for
log files and working out who did what) what are the best variables for user
on a TS system?

I tend to use environment variables, I guess the best is to use a
combination of SESSIONNAME and USERNAME

(USERNAME (Windows login name) is not necessarily unique as I understand)

(COMPUTERNAME is just the server in this case).

How do others distinguish users on a TS system?

John

Thanks Paul.

That answers a question I've had rattling around in my brain ever since
someone posted a DUG message about NX Server software. Which was "how do you
limit the number of users accessing an application through a terminal
server?"
