Per Seat Licences

[ihoult]

Hi,

I’ve got a web application that runs on an intranet, ASP pages as the user interface, VB6 business layer and an SQL Server database.

Is there anyway that I can restrict the number users who can use the site at any one time? Users are not connecting anonymously, if that helps.

Thanks for any help.

I would suspect this would be done in the VB6 layer.

Depends what sort of system it is. If it's client server and maintains connections then it's easy.
If it drops and creates connections on every call then how would you tell that a client has gone away without logging off? You could just log them off automatically after a period of inactivity but that may cause a bit of grief.

Why to you want to restrict the number?

======================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

Thanks for your response, the reason for restricting users is to stop the clients from having an unlimited number of users, when they've only paid for say 10.
