Concurrent Licensing Scheme (for applications)

    I am looking for a way to handle concurrent licenses in a new application (this has absolutely nothing to do with SQL Server Licensing). I've looked across the internet and at our in-house apps, but I need a better licensing scheme (one that doesn't use MAC Addresses or Machine Names and store them in a table or even rely on SQL Server CAL Licenses).

    I know of one way using Extended Properties to handle this, but I was wondering if anyone has a better way?

    How are you authenticating the different entities? If you can tie that authentication to information about the licensing, you are set.

    Ok, so if I am authenticating against a "Users" table for example, I could do what...get a Count(*) of the Logged-in users and if it exceeds the Licensing not Log-in?

    Or something along those lines, yes. The catch is how to handle time-outs and/or disconnects.
