Only certain applications can be (Apple people correct the terminology if I am
screwing it up) Multi-launched.  Some very popular ones require you to have a
*individual* copy for each user on the net that wants to open it at the same
time.  There are some that don't need this...best thing to do is read all the
doc's you can to see if it is indeed possible for the program to be opened by
two users simultaneously.  If not, provide enough copies of the application on
the server that a click on some "start-up document" will just open the first
available copy of the software.  So you might have say MacWrite II(1) through
(15) if you own that number of licenses and need that number for people to use
at a time.


Hope that helps...

Jeff.
