I have a customer who has a windows server 2000 and multiple XP Pro

usage, and it reports back to the server. This program only runs when
a user logs in.
The server is showing up asecond connection form the XP Pro PC from
the user "PCNAME$", PCNAME being whatever the name of the users PC is.
Is this something in XP I can change to get it to stop this second
connection as they're running out of CALs.
I would have thought the program would just be seen as the user
accessing more files, not a second user.
DO I need to set the program to run a different way?
Both users and computers authenticate to a domain. If you have enough user
or device/seat CALs for your network, you don't need to worry about this.
Most people stop & disable the built-in license logging service, and keep
track of licenses manually (you'll be presumed to be in per seat/device mode
if you do this).
If your monitoring software is reporting problems with CALs just because
you see a user & a computer authenticating, there's something wrong with the
software.
