I don't understand what you mean here. The only way the subroutine could get executed twice is if it is on the same machine, in which case it is the same user and license. I have run two instances of 99se on my machine without trouble at all. If you mean two different machines, they are not running the same subroutine because they are on different machines. What 99se does if the number of licenses is exceeded is that it tells each of the users that the license count has been exceeded. The dialog box can then be cleared and the user can proceed without loss of data. If they continue to exceed the license count they will get the dialog box every 30 seconds. It is annoying nagging, but I would rather that than a dongle, machine specific license, or having it just shut down. This way you can have one person running schematic while another is running pcb, and if the one running schematic mistakenly opens pcb it doesn't stop everything. When Protel added the net licensing I tried out exceeding the license to see what would happen and the results were some of the best in the industry. No server to load, no hassles, and it keeps people legal. Robert D. LaMoreaux MTS Systems Corp.
