Simplest way is to ask user.

I guess that you ask this because you are thinking of
replacing or removing a binary in /afs?

Consider renaming the binary to some unique name
(for example: ${oldname}.${epoch} where ${epoch} is 
UNIX epoch number of seconds since Jan 1 1970)
and then installing new version of binary.

Users of old copy will continue with renamed binary.
New invocations get new binary.
