I'm intrigued! What sort of config are you running on your Samba box(es) (I'm assuming it's served from a Samba box) to support that app?
I'm also curious as to the start-up times you experience compared to locally installed copies. I'm not trying to challenge what you've said at all - I'm genuinely interested in how things perform in your particular situation (given that the performance in this situation is absolutely shocking when the dopey thing is run from a share).

That really is the best way to run this particular app (Pro/Engineer) as that way the config files all point to the same license server and other important file paths. If you ever have to run around and fix it you either change it once and it just works or you change it, script a push to all the clients, and then run around fixing the ones that didn't work for some reason, which assumes the users have permission to replace system executables. I'll pick the network option personally. -- Paul Gienger Office: 701-281-1884 Applied Engineering Inc.
