Reducing licensing needs by preventing multiple company logins
Dynamics GP is licensed on a concurrent user basis; a company might have 50 users, but only ten at a time can log in. With multiple companies in Dynamics GP, users have a tendency to log in to more than one company at a time to make switching between companies faster. However, each company login uses up a concurrent license.
There is no built in functionality to prevent users from logging in multiple times, so in this recipe we have a hack designed to prevent users from logging in to multiple companies at once. One point to note is that this hack will only work with the Dynamics GP desktop client; it will not work with the web client.
How to do it…
