Before worrying about multiple launches of an app off a file server, you might
want to check the software license. Unless otherwise stated or agreed to, as
in a site license, each user should have a personal copy.

Some Mac apps specifically permit multi-launch - I think PageMaker does
(assuming you've licensed all users). Many Mac apps write back to themselves
to save setting and such, thus having multiple users would be a disaster. I'd
check with each vendor for their app's physical and legal constraints. -R
