I'm engineering a terminal server environment where I work.  We plan on making many applications available to nearly all users on the system.  However, with some of these applications we are limited to a certain number of licenses.  I would like to float the idea within freedesktop.org that a part of the menu system might include some sort of mechanism which would limit the number of concurrent users of a certain piece of software.

It is arguable that this function could be limited by a launcher script rather than the menu.  Yet I see an opportunity here for an extensible framework model.

Features I could imagine are user classes where some users could be pre-emptable where their running copy would be stopped for someone else to be able to use another floating license.

I hope this doesn't appear off-topic.

Good Luck!

Sincerely,
Joe Baker
