SMS doesn't impose any restrictions like these. Theoritically you can run a
program simultenously on as many machines as you want. Practically, limits
are imposed by the hardware of your DP and network utilization.

Having said that, can you see on your third laptop why deployment didn't
start immidiately? What was the advertisement schedule? All machines were in
same timezone? User environmnet settings were same and did meet on all
machines? How long did 3rd laptop take to start the program after receiving
the policy? Was the advertisement specified to download and run or run from
net? You sure that DP share doesn't limit number of client connections to
the DP share?

You can get all this information from ExecMgr.log and advertisement on the
server. If you are unsure, please post ExecMgr.log.

Hope this helps.
