Many, many moons ago (2000-2003 'ish) there was a program that was used to keep track of software licenses across the network.
It ran on the client and put a small "key" icon on the taskbar. The client connected back to a "license server". I think the program was called "Key Logic" but it might have been something else. Ran on Windows NT Server and Windows 2000 Server.
We could install any program that required a specific license on every computer, Photoshop for example. We could tell the license server that we had a certain number of licenses for Photoshop (10 for example). As long as no more than 10 concurrent users tried to use the program everything was fine. If #11 tried to use it they got a message saying that all licenses were currently in use and they would have to wait for someone else to close the program, thus freeing the license, before they could use it.
Does anyone know/remember the name or vendor of this program? Or one like it for that matter?
Thanks
