Hi Terry, 

Surprised to see so few suggestions on this. 

I would suggest you do not edit SYLOGIN. COM as errors could lock everyone out. 

Put code in LOGIN. COM of each PH Quick user. Easy way would be to create a flag file for each user prior to running Quick. Deleting file on exit from Quick. 

I assume that all PH users run a Quick screen menu from a captive account (this is VMS?). 

If the number of flag files is greater than one, then goto exit with optional message. 

To get the code you need, login to a DCL prompt and 

1. Type HELP LEXICALS 
2. Type HELP DCL 

I am surprised that your license vendor does not provide you with the code. Maybe they don't care? 

I doubt that a contractor would charge you more than a day.

I would like to prevent someone from logging in, more than twice. Hence not exceeding the license limit, 
and preventing others from logging in.

I suggest that you ask this as a general question on an OpenVMS forum. You don’t want to limit user logins specifically, just the number of application, in this case PowerHouse, launches. 

It might be a bit tricky if you launch the various PowerHouse components separately. In other words, user 1 is using QUICK and User 2 is using QUICK. So if you have a license count of 2, user 3 can’t use QUICK, but user 3 can use QUIZ, assuming there aren’t two other users using QUIZ. So you’d need to count the individual components. 

I don’t know how to do that in OpenVMS, but other OpenVMS users, not necessarily PowerHouse users, may know.

Hi Chris, 

What I want is for the system to automatically block an individual from logging in a third time. 
I'm seeing whether an OpenVms guy can help, as Mr deskin suggested.

Assuming this is an Open VMS environment, you could try performing the ‘SHOW USER username /OUT=filename’, search the output for ‘Total number of users = ‘ and where that value is more than 1 , you have duplicate user logins. This will not inform you on how many Powerhouse sessions you have open, only the number of logins by a specific user.
